[资源] Air Monitoring for Toxic Exposures: An Integrated Approach

Air Monitoring for Toxic Exposures: An Integrated Approach
Book Description
As concerns to evaluate the contamination of the environment and exposures to workers increase, more and more professionals from different backgrounds are becoming involved in sampling. Consequently, there is now a need for a practical guide to air sampling techniques and equipment that reflects current applications and interests. Air Monitoring for Toxic Exposures: An Integrated Approach explains the procedures for evaluating potentially harmful exposures to people from hazardous materials, including chemicals, radon, and bioaerosols. The author provides practical information on how to perform air sampling … collect biological and bulk samples … evaluate dermal exposures … and determine the advantages and limitations of a given method. The volume features discussions of many important topics of current interest not covered in other sources:

* the new technology and future trends in instrumentation
* bioaerosol sampling methods
* dermal exposure methods
* the toxic effects of chemicals and their impact on sampling strategies
* new trends in particle size-selective sampling
* the use of real time and direct reading instruments and data loggers
* applications of both EPA and OSHA techniques
* specific sampling strategies for surveys such as indoor air, asbestos, confined space, and industrial exposures

The integrated approach of the book is reflected in the variety of methods and contaminants examined. Included are discussions of the differences between environmental and occupational sampling methods, plus appraisals of both new and commonly used equipment and techniques. In addition to air monitoring techniques, readers will find specific sampling procedures for dermal exposure; bulk collection of chemicals, soil, and water; and biological monitoring such as breath and urine. The volume also addresses all phases of the sampling process— from identifying hazardous materials to sample and selecting the methods and equipment, to developing a sampling strategy and interpreting data. With its wealth of information on sampling methods and equipment, Air Monitoring for Toxic Exposures: An Integrated Approach is essential reading for all professionals working to control occupational and environmental exposures. The volume will be especially helpful to industrial hygienists, hazardous waste professionals, environmental engineers, and safety engineers.
