Ventilation for Control of the Work Environment

The principal textbook used to teach ventilation principles to students in graduate industrial hygiene programs since the publication of its First Edition eleven years ago, this new edition includes all the latest developments in the field, including updates to the ACGIH Ventilation Manual, ensuring this book remains the premier resource in the field.

A sourcebook for the specification, design, installation, and maintenance of industrial ventilation systems. Provides a theoretical background to the plant engineer, brings the concepts and principles of ventilation into an industrial setting, and illustrates practical aspects for students. Covers principles of fluid mechanics, methods and instrumentation for measuring air flow, hood design, selection, and performance, as well as the design of local exhaust ventilation systems. Also treats air cleaning devices, replacement air systems, and the technology and equipment for conditioning the air in the workplace. To be used with the reference, The ACGIH Industrial Ventilation Manual.
