ACGIH Modern Industrial Hygiene, 3 Volume Set - Three-Volume Set; ISBN: 978-1-607260-50-9 Copyright © 2012 ; (Now Available!) Jimmy L. Perkins Publication Combo.. (Volume 1 — Recognition and Evaluation of Chemical Agents, 2nd Edition - ISBN: 978-1-882417-75-9 - Volume 2 — Biological Aspects - ISBN: 978-1-882417-48-3 - Volume 3 — Control of Chemical Agents) - ISBN: 978-1-607260-47-9 - American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists,

This three-volume set bridges the gap between the classroom and the practice setting. All three volumes are well illustrated, contain over 1000 references each, and contain questions at the end of every chapter that should leave the reader with a sense of the important concepts of the chapter and cause the reader to probe deeper into the true meaning of what is written. Answers to all chapter questions can be found in an Appendix at the end of each textbook.

The set includes:


Modern Industrial Hygiene, Volume 1 — Recognition and Evaluation of Chemical Agents, 2nd Edition
ISBN: 978-1-882417-75-9
The first volume of a planned multi-volume set, Recognition and Evaluation of Chemical Agents fills the need for both an authoritative, comprehensive textbook, and an up-to-date multidisciplinary resource for the field. The book begins with an overview of industrial hygiene, and leads into discussions of sampling strategy, exposure assessment, statistics, instrumentation, and sampling media. Appendices provide hard-to-find data on vapor pressures and other physical-chemical constants. Its multidisciplinary scope, and emphasis on real-world problems and applications make this a reference of exceptional authority and practical value. New in this edition:

- Chapters have been updated and peer-reviewed.
- Two new chapters have been added: 1) Application of Mathematical Modeling to Estimate Air Contaminant Exposure and 2) Application of Variance Component Models to Exposure Assessment.
- Considerable advances to equipment referenced in the book have been made and these have been updated.
- The references at the end of each chapter have been updated.

Modern Industrial Hygiene, Volume 2 — Biological Aspects
ISBN: 978-1-882417-48-3

The long-awaited second of four volumes, Biological Aspects, contains an eclectic mix of subjects dealing with the biology of industrial hygiene. Jimmy L. Perkins, Editor brings together experts from various fields to cover the following topics: 

- The Respiratory Tract
- Respiratory Tract Deposition and Penetration
- Occupational Dermatotoxicology: Significance of Skin Exposure in the Workplace
- The Practice and Management of Occupational Ergonomics
- Biological Agents — Recognition
- Biological Agents — Monitoring and Evaluation of Bioaerosol Exposure
- Biological Agents — Control in the Occupational Environment
- Biological Monitoring in Occupational Health
- Dermal Exposure Assessment
- Epidemiology
- Health Risk Assessment and the Practice of Industrial Hygiene
- The History and Biological Basis of Occupational Exposure Limits

As in Volume 1, the purpose of this volume is to try to bridge the gap between the classroom and the practice setting. Volume 2 is well illustrated, has more than 1,000 references, and contains questions at the end of every chapter that should leave the reader with a sense of the important concepts of the chapter and cause the reader to probe deeper into the true meaning of what is written. Answers to all chapter questions can be found at the end of the textbook.

Volume 1, Recognition and Evaluation of Chemical Agents, and Volume 2, Biological Aspects, offer a strong foundation for industrial hygiene.

Modern Industrial Hygiene, Volume 3 — Control of Chemical Agents
ISBN: 978-1-607260-47-9
In this third and final volume of the three volume set, Control of Chemical Agents, Jimmy L. Perkins, Editor brings together experts from various fields to walk us through the following:

- Overview of Chemical Exposure Controls and Non-Ventilation Controls
- Ventilation
- “Control” at the receiver that encompasses more traditional industrial hygiene features of respiratory protection and skin exposures
- “Control” at the receiver that matures our thinking to encompass quality training, risk communication and behavioral based safety, and
- “Control” that truly stretches our approaches with risk management systems, managing with limited data, control banding and the newer European Union REACh requirements.

As in Volumes 1 and 2, the purpose of this volume is to try to bridge the gap between the classroom and the practice setting, and offer a strong foundation for industrial hygiene.
