This is the standard work in the field of industrial hygiene. Occupational health hazard control, to be cost-effective, should be made an integral part of the production process. A proper mix of engineering controls, administrative controls, and personal protective equipment is basic to occupational safety. This two- volume work presents safe, practical, production processes, and is written by professionals who have hands-on experience and are cerified in the practice of industrial hygiene. It covers organic and inorganic materials of a wide range of toxicities, from low to high; materials handling, from small to large quantities; and effective controls for each process and material covered. Controls descrived are often applicable to processes not specifically described in these volumes. The work should be of benefit to industrial hygienists, engineers, compliance officers and toxicologists.

The carcinogenic potential of building materials, red meat, high-fat foods—even fruits and vegetables—is often perceived as a part of the widening array of acknowledged health risks. The sphere of health hazard concern has moved well beyond the plant and the factory. Recognition of the potential health risks in the home and places of rest and recreation has become a priority item. Health and Safety Beyond the Workplace, thirteen studies assembled by leading environmental and occupational health specialists, outlines the nature and level of exposures to harmful substances we face daily. Chronicled within a 24-hour exposure profile, here is a practical guide to the specifics of chemical and physical risks present in: home gardeninghome improvements and repairshousehold chemicalsarts and craftsoutdoor recreationfood, alcohol, and tobaccopotable waterionizing and nonionizing radiationindoor and outdoor air pollutionRanging systematically from personal and community to personal practice exposures, the book assesses and identifies the risks inherent in each exposure mode and supplies preventive risk techniques. Quality of life has never depended more on the quality of safety in our air, food, and at-home and recreational environments. With Health and Safety Beyond the Workplace, you'll have an invaluable handbook to minimizing the chemical and physical hazards you may unknowingly encounter every day—right under the sink and in your backyard.

Patty's Industrial Hygiene and Toxicology Volume 3A, 2nd Edition:Theory and Rationale of Industrial Hygiene Practice: The WorkEnvironment Edited by Lewis J. Cralley & Lester V. Cralley Thisaddition to Patty's classic reference series discusses themaintenance of standards to assure a safe and healthful workingenvironment. Twenty-one leading authorities cover a broad range oftopics, including: rationale; health promotion in the workplace;occupational health nursing; detecting disease produced byoccupational exposure; health surveillance programs in industry;and more. 1985 0 471-86137-5 822 pp. Patty's Industrial Hygiene andToxicology Volume 3B, 2nd Edition: Theory and Rationale ofIndustrial Hygiene Practice: Biological Responses Edited by LewisJ. Cralley & Lester V. Cralley Volume 3B discusses thebiological responses of the body to the various chemical andenvironmental hazards and stresses in the industrial workplace.Twenty-one leading authorities cover a broad range of topics,including: rationale; role of animal toxicology and pharmacokineticdata in the safety evaluation of chemicals; and more. 1985 0471-82333-3 753 pp. Industrial Hygiene Aspects of Plant OperationsVolume 1: Process Flows Editors: Lester V. Cralley & Lewis J.Cralley This reference is the first of a three-volume work thatconstitutes the most comprehensive treatise available on therecognition, measurement, and control of potential hazardsassociated with plant operations. Volume 1 fills an especiallyimportant and urgent need with its flow-sheet style of presentationdesigned to help readers graphically compare their own companyprocesses with those of other companies. 1986 0 471-62493-4 630 pp.Industrial Hygiene Aspects of Plant Operations Volume 2: UnitOperations and Product Fabrication Editors: Lester V. Cralley &Lewis J. Cralley In the first section, the contributors discussunit operations as distinct entities along an industry-wideconcept. In the second section, they cover the operations andprocedures for assembling parts and materials into final products.Each step in the unit operation and product fabrication flowincludes a discussion of specific health hazards with suggestionsfor their monitoring and control. 1986 0 471-62492-6 537 pp.Industrial Hygiene Aspects of Plant Operations Volume 3:Engineering Considerations in Equipment Selection, Layout, andBuilding Design Editors: Lester V. Cralley & Lewis J.
