Infos

Since the first edition in 1948, Patty's Industrial Hygiene and Toxicology has become a flagship publication for Wiley. During its nearly seven decades in print, it has become a standard reference for the fields of occupational health and toxicology. The volumes on industrial hygiene are cornerstone reference works for not only industrial hygienists but also chemists, engineers, toxicologists, lawyers, and occupational safety personnel.

Volume 3 covers Recognition and Evaluation of Physical Agents and Biohazards. All of the chapters have been updated and a new chapter on Robotics has been added. These subjects are increasing in importance to industrial hygienists.

Autor

Barbara Cohrssen is President of Cohrssen Environmental, Inc. and is a Certified Industrial Hygienist and Registered Environmental Assessor. She co-edited the previous edition of both Patty's Toxicology and Patty's Industrial Hygiene. She has over 30 years of experience in occupational and environmental health and safety.

To convert degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit: °C (9/5) + 32 = °F

To convert degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius: (5/9) (°F − 32) = °C

For solutes in water: 1 mg/liter 1 ppm (by weight)

Atmospheric contamination: 1 mg/liter 1 oz/1000 cu ft (approx)

For gases or vapors in air at 25°C and 760 mm Hg pressure:

To convert mg/liter to ppm (by volume): mg/liter (24,450/mol. wt.) = ppm

To convert ppm to mg/liter: ppm (mol. wt./24,450) = mg/liter

Factors for conversion of some units

Mg/L × 28.32 = Mg/cubic foot

Mg/L × 1000 = Mg /cubic meter

Mg/cubic foot × 35.314 = Mg/cubic meter

Mg/cubic meter × 0.2832 = Mg/cubic foot
