Ventilation for Control of the Work Environment 2nd Edition
Ventilation for Control of the Work Environment 2nd Edition incorporates changes in the field of industrial hygiene since the first edition was published in 1982. Integrating feedback from students and professionals, the new edition includes problems sets for each chapter and updated information on the modeling of exhaust ventilation systems, and thus assures the continuation of the book’s role as the primary industry textbook.
This revised text includes a large amount of material on HVAC systems, and has been updated to reflect the changes in the Ventilation Manual published by ACGIH. It uses both English and metric units, also each chapter concludes with a problem set.

This book is not a reference manual. We wrote it to be used with the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) Industrial Ventilation Manual and its companion study guide by D. Jeff Burton. Throughout the text, we refer the reader to specific designs, charts, and tables in the Ventilation Manual. We did not want to repeat the information provided there, but rather concentrated on explaining the rationale behind the material and providing a framework within which to use the Ventilation Manual.
However, many of these systems are improperly designed, not installed according to the plans, or poorly maintained, leading to tremendous loss as a result of inefficiency. In an attempt to improve this situation, we wrote this book to provide information to those responsible for the specification, design, installation, also maintenance of industrial ventilation systems
