Abstract

The revised edition of this treatise on industrial hygiene and toxicology has been expanded to three volumes. Volume 1 deals with general principles and contains chapters by the editor and 17 contributors. To keep abreast with the extension of industrial hygiene into new fields, chapters on human engineering and industrial safety, industrial sanitation, air pollution, industrial noise and the conservation of hearing, lighting for seeing, and heat control in the hot industries were added. Extensive revisions were made in the chapters on industrial hygiene records and reports, the pulmonary dust diseases, radiant energy, and ventilation. The remaining chapters required less extensive revision. This volume contains a wealth of useful and authoritative information in the various specialties. Many pertinent references are given to the original literature. The revised edition more than ever is an outstanding reference source and textbook for students and practitioners in the field of industrial hygiene and toxicology.
