Produktbeschreibung

Basic Concepts of Industrial Hygiene covers the most important topics in industrial hygiene. The textbook begins with a look at the history and the basis for industrial hygiene, providing a foundation for understanding later developments. It contains an in-depth discussion of new OSHA regulations such as HAZWOPER and Process Safety, which deal with high hazard situations, and features a chapter on biological hazards of current concern in health care, including tuberculosis, AIDS, and hepatitis B. A "Key Points" section at the end of each chapter briefly summarizes each major topic. Appendices supply practical information that the reader will refer to again and again.
