Opis

Respiratory protective devices (RPD) serve to protect against air pollution in the work environment and in everyday life. This book provides the essential lifesaving knowledge for choosing the proper RPD against the nanoparticles. Ideal for the safety engineer and the health and safety professionals in the field.

Recenzje

"Through a comprehensive approach to the subject of the work, the authors present theoretical foundations as well as practical solutions that are used in the research and development of personal respiratory protection. The complementarity of the information contained in the book will allow the reader to become familiar with a wide range of knowledge related to the design and manufacturing as well as assessment of properties and procedures for the use of respiratory protection against the adverse effects of aerosols, including air contaminated with nanoparticles and microparticles. In my opinion the book is a valuable part of the series Occupational Safety, Health, and Ergonomics: Theory and Practice, published by Taylor & Francis."
