Managing Indoor Air Quality"This practical desk reference is structured to serve as a guide and information resource - both on treating existing indoor air problems effectively - and on prevention costly IAQ problems from occurring in the first place. Finding solutions to indoor air quality problems is often a complex, multifaceted, multidisciplined 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 treatment 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 end advances in the IAQ industry - most notably the new chapter on building security and the increased emphasis on mold-related issues."--Jacket. |
