Risk Assessment And Indoor Air Quality

Risk Assessment And Indoor Air Quality

With the recent tightening of air quality standards as mandated by the U.S. EPA, has come great pressure on regulatory bodies at all levels of government, along with the industries & groups affected by these standards, to better assess the hazards & risks that result from air pollutants. Risk Assessment & Indoor Air Quality carefully ties together the tools & methodologies of Risk Assessment to the study of indoor air quality. This informative text takes a look at the problem of long-term exposure to low-level concentrations of toxins. In addition to commonly found toxins, such as chemical fumes from furnishings & carpeting, & indoor use of pesticides, this unique volume discusses risks associated with exposure to indoor allergens & infectious disease pathogens such as Legionnaires Disease. Because few scientific models exist for understanding the dynamics of indoor air quality, Risk Assessment & Indoor Air Quality is an essential resource for all students & professionals involved evaluating, testing & monitoring indoor air quality.
