Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Air Monitoring for Toxic Exposures: An Integrated Approach, Second Edition 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.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
