Opis

Covering the fundamentals of ventilation, this text icludes an explanation of the dynamic properties of airborne contaminants, and the principles of dispertion mechanism and local exhaust. Advanced applications are also examined in detail, particularly system design, non-standard conditions, and troubleshooting. Along with providing background on the two primary types of workplace ventilation - general and local exhaust - the text also aims for mutual understanding between the health-oriented priorities of industrial hygienists and the practical applications for maximum efficiency considered by industrial engineers.

Recenzje

"Jeff Burton has done the occupational community a big service by bringing Hemeon's book to a new readership. This book will be of value to occupational hygiene students, practitioners, academics and researchers...I recommend all occupational hygienists interested and involved in control to buy or borrow and study this book. There is still a lot to do to make the design of occupational hygiene controls an accurate and precise affair and perhaps it says something about the speed of progress in this field that we often cannot improve on what Hemeon published over 45 years ago."
--Mark Piney, in the Annals of Occupational Hygiene, Vol. 45/2
