Review Pesticide Residues in Foods: Methods, Techniques, and Regulations (Chemical Analysis: A Series of Monographs on Analytical Chemistry and Its Applications) / Wiley-Interscience:Advances in analytical chemistry methodology now allow us to detect the most minute trace amounts of pesticides. As this capacity grows, so does public concern about toxic contamination, resulting in stricter government regulations and a growing demand for even more sensitive, precise, and reliable analysis. Addressing the interplay between regulations and the development of analytical technology, this volume presents the first unified treatment of the regulatory and analytical aspects of pesticide residues. Current regulations, existing and emerging methodologies, state-of-the-art instrumentation, and the basic science of analyzing for pesticides in food and other environmental media are all covered. The book provides step-by-step guidelines to analytical techniques, along with real-world examples from the latest research-showing the reader how to analyze minute traces of pesticides quickly and accurately, using both highly sophisticated and basic, less sensitive techniques. Many safety issues are explored in depth, as are the regulatory aspects of pesticide registration, residue analysis, exposure monitoring, risk assessment, and tolerance enforcement. Timely, authoritative, and practical throughout, Pesticide Residues in Foods is an invaluable reference for analytical chemists and laboratory managers everywhere-in industry, agriculture, environmental sciences, research, and instrument manufacturing-and for anyone with an interest in the broader environmental, agricultural, and consumer-related implications of pesticide use. An invaluable resource for analytical chemists and laboratory managers, Pesticide Residues in Foods provides a complete overview of the theory, practice, and regulatory aspects of pesticide residue analysis today, including: * All regulatory issues, from risk assessment and tolerance to data-quality requirements to laboratory accreditation standards * State-of-the-art methodologies and instrumentation, including high- performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry * The application of analytical technology to "green chemistry," such as the reduction of solvents and toxic reagents in the laboratory * Novel solutions to the old problem of keeping the food supply safe from harmful levels of pesticides * Ample examples to help analytical chemists select the most appropriate method for a given residue analysis * Easy-to-use tables and figures throughout the text.

Review Employee-Driven Systems for Safe Behavior: Integrating Behavioral and Statistical Methodologies (Industrial Health & Safety) / Wiley:Employee-Driven Systems for Safe Behavior Throughout the reign of Total Quality Management (TQM), the author and his associates pioneered and field-tested a behavior-based approach to continuous safety improvement. Strong on fundamentals, Employee-Driven Systems for Safe Behavior shows how leading companies have applied TQM in safety since the mid-1980s. This book was written for all safety professionals dedicated to accident prevention and presents the methods used by more than 130 companies to achieve continuous improvement in their safety performance. Part One The Safety/Quality Connection provides an overview of the behavioral theory at the foundation of this approach. Part Two Methods for Continuous Improvement in Safety introduces key procedures and instruments of the behavior- based approach to safety, such as the inventory of critical safety-related behaviors, peer-to-peer observation and feedback, and statistical analysis of behavioral data. Part Three Current Issues in Behavior-Based Safety presents issues in behavioral management including ergonomics, employee selection, and incident investigation. Part Four Results and Case Histories profiles case histories of implementations at companies such as Monsanto, Chevron, and PPG Industries, Inc. The material presented in Employee-Driven Systems for Safe Behavior was developed by the author and his colleagues in hundreds of conference and training sessions with safety professionals, managers, and wage-roll personnel from companies across all industries and regions of the U. S. and Canada, and in Australia, Jamaica, and Britain.

Review Beyond Limits?: Dealing with Chemical Risks at Work in Europe / Elsevier Science:Nearly one third of all occupational diseases recognised annually in the EU are related to exposure to chemical substances and it is widely accepted that this represents only a small fraction of the full extent of harm caused by occupational exposure to hazardous substances. The European chemical industry is the largest in the world but it is by no means the only source of occupational exposure to chemical hazards, because chemical products are both used and are bi-products in many diverse forms of work. This book is a study of strategic approaches to managing the risks of working with hazardous substances in Europe. Its central theme concerns the widening gap between debates and developments at national and international levels concerning safety in the use of chemical substances at work in the European Union and practices within workplaces especially within the small and medium-sized workplaces that constitute the vast majority of establishments in which people work in Europe. It sets out to discover what drives informed and competent risk management in chemical health and safety and what role occupational exposure limits play in this process. The subject is particularly topical in the light of emerging strategies on chemical risks at EU level, the future impact of REACH and the significant changes that are occurring in legislative approaches to setting and using exposure limits at national levels in most EU countries. The continuing expansion of the Community to include a range of new member states, with chemical health and safety systems that are considerably less sophisticated than those presently found in northern European member states, makes the book especially timely. It deals with a subject that is a core concern of national and EU level policy makers, regulators, OHS practitioners, employers and trade unions alike. The AuthorsDavid Walters is TUC Professor of Work Environment at Cardiff University and formerly Professor of Occupational and Environmental Health and Safety at South Bank University. Karola Grodzki, at the time her research for this book was undertaken, was Research Fellow at the Centre for Industrial and Environmental Safety and Health, South Bank University. [+]She is currently employed by the European Commission. The views expressed in the book are purely those of the author/writer and may not in any circumstances be regarded as stating the official position of the European Commission.

Review An Investigative Approach to Industrial Hygiene: Sleuth at Work (Industrial Health & Safety) / Wiley:It normally takes years for industrial hygienists to develop the strong investigative skills needed to accurately identify the causes of work-related health problems. In far less time, you can acquire successful investigative strategies from this collection of intriguing case studies drawn from the experience of Lester Levin - a safety professional who has been investigating and solving occupational health problems for nearly 40 years. An Investigative Approach to Industrial Hygiene: Sleuth at Work opens by outlining how the profession grew out of the need to combat the growing threats to health, particularly epidemics, brought on by rapid industrial progress. It discusses the economic, sociological, technological, and legal obstacles that slowed the development of effective industrial hygiene practices. The 12 case studies read like mystery stories. In "The Fire Next Door," "No Sense of Danger," and "The Plastic Makers' Infirmity," you will see how a veteran industrial hygienist probes into the origins of workplace illness and, in each case, solves the problem. Along the way, your own growing investigative skills will be tested as you yourself look for telltale clues to each mystery. The book concludes by spotlighting cosmetologists and firefighters - two professional groups with distinctively high exposure to health and safety hazards - and describes how they cope with their respective work-related dangers. Uniquely engaging and informative, An Investigative Approach to Industrial HygieneSleuth at Work, will serve the diverse information needs of industrial hygienists, occupational physicians, nurses and other health practitioners, plant supervisors, employee relations managers, attorneys, and claims and insurance adjustors.
