Konzen of the Department of Industrial Engineering, Texas A&M University. Also assisting as consultants to the development of the material were Ralph J. Authors of the first edition of the text were Bruce B. Due to this method of publishing, certain portions of the book may be less legible than desired.ĪCKNOWLEDGMENTS This text was developed under the sponsorship of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (N IOSH), Division of Training and Manpower Development, Cincinnati, Ohio. Special techniques are used to close the gap between "manuscript" and "completed book." In order to keep the price of the book to a reasonable level, it has been partially reproduced by photo-offset directly from the original report and the cost saving passed on to the reader. Advanced composition and production methods developed by Noyes Data Corporation are employed to bring this durably bound book to you in a minimum of time. The table of contents is organized in such a way as to serve as a subject index and provides easy access to the information contained in the book. Talty of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), for NIOSH, June 1986, and is an update of the first edition of Advanced Industrial Hygiene Engineering prepared by Bruce B. The information in the book is from Advanced Industrial Hygiene Engineering, edited by John T. Therefore, when faced with practical problems, the industrial hygiene engineer must consult the latest references to obtain up-to-date requirements of concern. It should be noted that recommended and mandatory codes and standards change over time. This structure allows for reference to a single topic area without the need to consult other sections of the book. The text has been divided into eight sections, each of which covers a particular subject area. Throughout the text, the systems approach to problem solving is emphasized. A second objective was to provide the reader with a sYstematic approach to problem solving in the field of industrial hygiene. It is hoped this objective has been reached and that this text will be a valuable and needed addition to the literature of industrial hygiene. To provide a text that includes the necessary theoretical foundation as well as the practical application of the theory is a significant undertaking. The control of occupational health hazard exposures requires a broad knowledge of a number of subject areas. The first objective of this text then, is to provide a single reference source on the subject of industrial hygiene engineering and control. Though this is an important concern of the industrial hygiene engineer, the sparse coverage of control topics indicated a need for an additional text. For the most part, existing texts emphasized recognition, measurement and evaluation of occupational health hazards. In fact, control received very little attention in many of the existing texts on industrial hygiene. As this research was being conducted, it became evident that no single source provided sufficient coverage of the subject. During the design of the course, it was necessary to research the field of industrial hygiene. The creation of this text came out of an attempt to design a course to teach the fundamentals of industrial hygiene engineering as related to the design of controls for exposure to health hazards in the workplace. Other engineering topics covered include industrial water quality, solid waste control, handling and storage of hazardous materials, personal protective equipment, and costs of industrial hygiene control. Primary attention is given to industrial ventilation, noise and vibration control, heat stress, and industrial illumination. Emphasis is on the control of exposure to occupational health hazards. This book provides an advanced level of study of industrial hygiene engineering situations. Industrial buildings- Environmental engineering.
