She then offers in-depth practical coverage of: * Identifying hazards or potential hazards * Sampling and workplace evaluations * Hazard control * Toxicology, occupational health, and occupational health standards * Airborne hazards * Dermatoses and contact hazards * Fire and explosion hazards * Occupational noise * Radiation * Temperature extremes * Repetitive use traumas With its comprehensive coverage and quick-reference format, Basics of Industrial Hygiene is also a handy refresher and working reference for practicing environmental technicians and managers.
