Description
About the Book
"This is the fifth edition of what we hope continues to be a practical textbook for those studying or carrying out the important task of protecting workers from hazards. The previous edition was published in 2010, and that built upon work by Indira Ashton and Frank Gill going back to the first edition published in 1982. In that near 40 year span the book has developed considerably and has expanded to include hazards such as nanoparticles and exposure routes including skin contact and inadvertent ingestion of chemicals that were not considered in the first work. Since the 4th Edition published in 2010, new chemical regulations (REACH) have become increasingly widely adopted in Europe. Hazard assessment procedures under REACH often require the generation of robust exposure data, thus stimulating the need to measure or model exposure to chemicals"--Book Synopsis
MONITORING FOR HEALTH HAZARDS AT WORKMonitoring for Health Hazards at Work remains the seminal textbook on measuring and -controlling the risk of workplace exposure to physical, chemical, and biological hazards. Designed for students studying occupational hygiene and exposure science, this comprehensive and accessible volume provides step-by-step guidance on identifying hazards and quantifying their risks in various workplace environments. Complete with checklists and practical examples, the authors present clear explanations of all types of hazards that can arise in the workplace, including dust, particles, fibrous aerosols, gases, vapours, and bioaerosols.
The fifth edition features revised material throughout, and remains an essential resource for students and professionals in occupational hygiene, reflecting global standards and recent developments in monitoring equipment, modelling methods, exposure assessment, and legislation on workplace safety.
Monitoring for Health Hazards at Work, is required reading for students and professionals in occupational hygiene, environmental health and safety, occupational health and safety, and exposure science.
