Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This guide offers advice on the recognition, evaluation, and control of hazards in the workplace. Particular attention is given to gasses, vapors, solvents, particulates, noise, radiation, ergonomics, biological hazards, air sampling, direct-reading instruments, ventilation, and respiratory protection. It also discusses: anatomy, physiology, and pathology; occupational health and safety professions; government regulations; and, the history and development of industrial hygiene. Black and white photographs, diagrams, charts, drawings, and graphs are prominently featured. Additional resources are listed, ACGIH Threshold Limit Values and biological exposure indices are presented, and a glossary is provided. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
