Review Hazardous Materials Characterization: Evaluation Methods, Procedures, and Considerations / Wiley-Interscience:This book provides information that is useful for those required to handle potentially dangerous materials. Even though regulatory agencies have provided written standards for working with dangerous substances, we rarely obtain regulations that provide readers with common sense concepts. This work will be a valued resource that is easy to use and easy to understand. The common sense approach is greatly stressed throughout the book. Topics are presented so that they can be used by all hazardous materials workers, especially those involved in chemical emergency action and response. The subject matter is user friendly, for persons needing information regardless of whether they are laypeople, chemists or workers that handle dangerous materials. Methods and procedures for evaluating the properties and strengths of questionable substances are also included. Information is presented in groupings or as families of dangerous materials. Reactive materials and situations that cause dangerous conditions are also covered. The latest regulatory directives relating to hazardous materials handling are referenced as they apply.

Review Warehouse Safety: A Practical Guide to Preventing Warehouse Incidents and Injuries / Government Institutes:Because warehouses typically contain no dangerous machines or high-risk operations, employers and employees often develop a false sense of safety and security. However, the National Safety Council reports that 10 to 25 percent of all workplace injuries occur at warehouse loading docks, and OSHA estimates that approximately 100 people die each year while operating powered industrial trucks. In this book, author George Swartz helps warehouse management proactively develop formal safety programs and reduce the number of safety incidents and losses that occur in warehouse environments.

Review Human and Ecological Risk Assessment: Theory and Pactice / Wiley-Interscience:Human and Ecological Risk Assessment: Theory and Practice assembles the expertise of more than fifty authorities from fifteen different fields, forming a comprehensive reference and textbook on risk assessment. Containing two dozen case studies of environmental or human health risk assessments, the text not only presents the theoretical underpinnings of the discipline, but also serves as a complete handbook and "how-to" guide for individuals conducting or interpreting risk assessments. In addition, more than 4,000 published papers and books in the field are cited. Editor Dennis Paustenbach has assembled chapters that present the most current methods for conducting hazard identification, dose-response and exposure assessment, and risk characterization components for risk assessments of any chemical hazard to humans or wildlife (fish, birds, and terrestrials). Topics addressed include hazards posed by: -Air emissions -Radiological hazards -Contaminated soil and foods -Agricultural hazards -Occupational hazards -Consumer products and water -Hazardous waste sites -Contaminated air and water The bringing together of so many of the world’s authorities on these topics, plus the comprehensive nature of the text, promises to make Human and Ecological Risk Assessment the text against which others will be measured in the coming years.

Review Ozonation of Drinking Water and of Wastewater / Wiley-VCH:The ozonation of compounds in water is a complex process. The mechanisms are very complicated, the parameters are many, but the possibilities of developing cost-effective treatment schemes for drinking water and waste water are large. Most books available today concentrate on either drinking water or waste water treatment, seldom dealing with both or explaining the essential differences. And only rare exceptions deal with the how-to of ozone experiments. This practical guide fills the gap. It contains the cumulative knowledge on experimental design, execution, interpretation and application. Drawing on experience gained from hours spent on laboratory research with drinking and waste waters, literature study, intensive discussion with leading experts, perplexed reflection and deep thought, the book offers practical help to avoid common pitfalls and unnecessary work. This book is aimed at professionals in industry and research currently using ozonation who want to optimize their system, as well as students beginning work with ozonation. It contains just enough information for beginners to start with, but goes rapidly to the detailed information that advanced readers need.

Review Biological Monitoring of Exposure to Chemicals: Metals / Wiley-Interscience:This companion volume to Biological Monitoring of Exposure to Chemicals: Organic Compounds presents recent results from both field and laboratory studies investigating the presence of metals and organometallic compounds in biological media. A distinguished list of contributors describe studies which assess the extent of human exposure to metals, and recount fundamental studies at the molecular level, such as investigation of immunotoxicological effects of the interaction of metals during absorption and biological transformation. There is also a study of the biological monitoring of environmental contamination that demonstrates how biological samples determine the transport and fate of metals in the environment.

Review Reproductive Hazards of the Workplace / Wiley:Reproductive Hazards of the Workplace Linda M. Frazier, MD, MPH Marvin L. Hage, MD In the face of rising medical costs, health care reform, intense media scrutiny, and the trend toward delayed pregnancies, the concern over on-the-job reproductive hazards is at an all-time high. The need to develop effective strategies for protecting the reproductive health of employees—female and male—is more critical than ever. Reproductive Hazards of the Workplace is designed to help managers, primary care physicians, and health and safety professionals manage and prevent occupational reproductive risks. Like other entries in Van Nostrand Reinhold’s Hazards of the Workplace series, the book offers a wealth of valuable, up-to-date information plus expert-tested methodologies and advice for handling risk exposure. Reproductive Hazards of the Workplace begins by covering basic reproductive and developmental biology and fundamentals of risk assessment and reduction. It shows readers how to take into account influencing factors such as the employee’s age, personal habits, and existing conditions (such as diabetes and hypertension). From this foundation, the text explains how to recognize and manage a wide range of potential threats to reproductive health, including:Chemical agentsPhysical agentsBiologic agentsErgonomic factorsTravelStressIn describing reproductive risks involving these common occupational exposures, thorough coverage is provided of an often-ignored subject: reproductive hazards to men. Reproductive Hazards of the Workplace offers a variety of features to help readers use the material. [+]Key tables, references, sample patient encounter forms, and occupational exposure guidelines add to the book’s functionality. With this book, physicians, nurses, corporate personnel, and safety professionals have an expert resource focused exclusively on a crucial aspect of occupational health management. As an introductory text, a review volume, or a convenient sourcebook, Reproductive Hazards of the Workplace is a welcome addition to any safety professional’s library.
