Review:

This reference work demonstrates sound planning with a precise table of contents, a decent index, and valuable reference appendixes. The comprehensive color graphics are stunningly clear, and there are many high-resolution photos. In an introductory chapter that gives an overview of the gas monitoring systems and sensors available, the text actually defines key technical terms and acronyms (rather than bury them at the back of the book). Whether youre an engineer, designer, technician, environmental health director, safety officer, or student, this resource is worthy of space on your shelf. --Matthew Lamoreaux -- InTech Magazine - The International Journal of Measurment and Control, The Instrument Society of America
