Publisher's Synopsis
This unique text/reference is designed to train students and professionals entering industrial hygiene and toxicology fields how to apply three classic steps - recognition, evaluation and control - to health hazards in a variety of occupations, including manufacture of leaded steel, heat treating in the metals industry and aluminium smelting. The case study approach, which gives readers an overall view of current practices in the applied sciences, is particularly effective in introducing innovative logic and problem-solving techniques. The book encourages the reader to solve problems described in each case study and offers suggested solutions.
