The second edition of Ventilation Control of the Work Environment incorporates changes in the field of industrial hygiene since the first edition was published in 1982. Integrating feedback from students and professionals, the new edition includes problems sets for each chapter and updated information on the modeling of exhaust ventilation systems, and thus assures the continuation of the book's role as the primary industry textbook. This revised text includes a large amount of material on HVAC systems, and has been updated to reflect the changes in the Ventilation Manual published by ACGIH. It uses both English and metric units, and each chapter concludes with a problem set.

This guideline defines ventilation and then natural ventilation. It explores the design requirements for natural ventilation in the context of infection control, describing the basic principles of design, construction, operation and maintenance for an effective natural ventilation system to control infection in health-care settings.

This exciting new volume, the first of a multiple volume set, is a thorough introduction to workplace health and safety issues. Its uncomplicated presentation of material makes it a clear presentation for attorneys, teachers, architects, managers, supervisors, union members and others who regularly deal with occupational health and safety issues. Everyone concerned with recognition, evaluation, and control of workplace hazards will want this volume. It addresses topics in occupational health and safety, including worker and community right-to-know issues, worker health and safety training, and other contemporary issues. The book also offers valuable "how-to" information for occupational health and safety professionals. Safety engineers, health physicists, and industrial hygienists will want this book for its coverage of the industrial hygiene field and as a refresher of industrial hygiene principles. Each chapter was written by a practicing occupational health professional and has been integrated into a clear and comprehensive text.

Here, for the first time, is an authoritative technical reference book covering all aspects of state-of-the-art design of ventilation systems for contaminant control for a wide variety of manufacturing and processing industries. The author has played a key role in the development of the subject and this book is based on his extensive consulting experience in the practical engineering design of contaminant control systems world-wide, as well as his personal research work. The material is organized specifically for ease of understanding and contains all the technical information needed to develop cost-effective solutions for any type of contaminant in the workplace environment. A unique feature is the development of recommended subject classifications for the ventilation field. For each type of ventilation system, the fundamental design equations are developed from theoretical principles, and numerous examples are given of the practical application of these design equations to solving industrial ventilation problems.

This book examines the computations of gas-borne dust flows in local exhaust ventilation systems and provides practical recommendations for the energy-efficient containment of dust emissions. It discusses basic approaches to operational energy savings for local exhaust ventilation systems, including shaping intake openings of open local exhaust devices after determining boundaries of vortex areas, increasing the working distance of suction openings, inhibiting carryover of dust into aspiration network by promoting rotational aerodynamic fields, and more. Color photos throughout illustrate dust behavior, flow lines, and patterns.
