Recognition of Health Hazards in Industry A

An authoritative and practical guide to identifying major health issues in the workplace with an overview of common control approaches. Contains detailed surveys of work tasks in a wide range of industries, enabling readers to recognize health problems in facility design and operation and to relate medical symptoms to job exposure. New to this edition: discussion of microelectronics, chemical processing and plastics fabrication; increased coverage of published exposure information; epidemiologic and other health status studies.

WILLIAM A. BURGESS is Associate Professor of Occupational Health Engineering, Emeritus, at the Harvard School of Public Health. He is the 1996 recipient of the Donald E. Cummings Memorial Award of the American Industrial Hygiene Association, and the author of Recognition of Health Hazards in Industry.
