Working from an engineering approach based on fundamental concepts, this book explores the design and function of industrial ventilation systems. It describes a systematic approach to protecting worker health through reducing airborne hazards. The approach is based on first principles and engineering fundamentals and includes the usual empirically-based considerations. Problem sets are provided.

Suitable for a mechanical, industrial, civil, chemical, environmental, manufacturing, system, and design engineers, this work offers practical strategies for constructing, testing, modifying, and renovating industrial structures and processes that minimize and inhibit contaminant formation, distribution, and accumulation.
