The no-nonsense manager's desk reference for preventing and solving indoor environmental and air quality problems - now completely updated...
Managing Indoor Air Quality - $92.00
This
practical desk reference is structured to serve as a
guide and information resource – both on treating
existing indoor air problems effectively – and on
preventing costly IAQ problems from occurring in the
first place.
Finding
solutions to indoor air quality problems is often a
complex, multifaceted, multi-disciplined endeavor.
A single
discipline approach from the environmental engineer,
the industrial hygienist, or the medical doctor,
unfortunately tends to narrow both the control and the
treatments options.
This book
cuts across these professions without being limited by
the specificity and bias of any one discipline, to
offer those concerned with the total facility a
broader, more comprehensive approach to managing
indoor air quality and mitigating indoor air quality
problems.
The third
edition has undergone extensive updates and editing in
response to the rapid pace of changes and advances in
the IAQ industry – most notably the new chapter on
building security and the increased emphasis on
mold-related issues.
For the
building owner, administrator or facilities manager
who must deal with the realities of today's indoor
environmental concerns, this outstanding, fully
updated reference will serve as a practical, hands-on
guide.
You'll find
readily applicable air quality control measures and
preventative strategies that can head off the
"headaches" -both economic and legal that can grow out
of an air quality problem.
You'll also
learn the critical aspects of complete response and
step-by-step investigation tactics and tools.
Specific
symptoms of building-associated illnesses are
detailed, along with practical guidelines for
identifying and controlling the associated pollutant
or source of the problem.
The revised
second edition provides you with
the
results of a decade of new indoor air quality
research and experience
updated
references and contacts
an update
on standards
a new
chapter on filtration
the
latest research results on causes of indoor air
quality problems
