| Abstract
|
:
|
This book explains the procedures for evaluation poten-tially harmful exposures to people from hazardous materials, including chemicals, radon, and bioaerosols. The author provides practical information on how to per-form air sampling, collect biological and bulk samples, evaluate dermal exposures, and determine the advantages and limitations of a given method. The original edi-tion published in 1991 has been a valuable resource for Industrial Hygienists, safety professionals, environmental specialists, chemists and others involved in measuring airborne exposures to chemicals, microorganisms, and radon. However, much of the equipment-specific information is outdated and so the equipment described and illustrated in the book is either no longer available or does not represent state-of-the-art monitoring techniques. Additionally, the audience for the book can be in-creased to include public health specialists and emergency responders by adding chapters covering information monitoring during emergency response, including bio-terrorism agents such as anthrax
