Book Gravimetric and Dust spot Procedures for Testing Air cleaning Devices Used in General Ventilation for Removing Particulate Matter

Download or read book Gravimetric and Dust spot Procedures for Testing Air cleaning Devices Used in General Ventilation for Removing Particulate Matter written by American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This standard establishes procedures to measure the ability of air-cleaning devices to remove dust as they become loaded with standard synthetic dust. The dust-removal performance is measured in two ways: first by the percentage of the weight of the synthetic dust captured by the filter (ASHRAE weight arrestance) and second by comparing the blackening of targets both upstream and downstream of the air-cleaning device using ambient atmospheric dust (ASHRAE dust-spot efficiency). The procedures in this standard do not measure the ability of the air cleaner to remove particles of specific diameters. This standard is not intended for testing air cleaners exhibiting ASHRAE dust-spot efficiencies of greater than 98%.

Book Clearing the Air

    Book Details:
  • Author : Institute of Medicine
  • Publisher : National Academies Press
  • Release : 2000-05-24
  • ISBN : 0309064961
  • Pages : 457 pages

Download or read book Clearing the Air written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-05-24 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since about 1980, asthma prevalence and asthma-related hospitalizations and deaths have increased substantially, especially among children. Of particular concern is the high mortality rate among African Americans with asthma. Recent studies have suggested that indoor exposuresâ€"to dust mites, cockroaches, mold, pet dander, tobacco smoke, and other biological and chemical pollutantsâ€"may influence the disease course of asthma. To ensure an appropriate response, public health and education officials have sought a science-based assessment of asthma and its relationship to indoor air exposures. Clearing the Air meets this need. This book examines how indoor pollutants contribute to asthmaâ€"its causation, prevalence, triggering, and severity. The committee discusses asthma among the general population and in sensitive subpopulations including children, low-income individuals, and urban residents. Based on the most current findings, the book also evaluates the scientific basis for mitigating the effects of indoor air pollutants implicated in asthma. The committee identifies priorities for public health policy, public education outreach, preventive intervention, and further research.

Book Patty s Industrial Hygiene  4 Volume Set

Download or read book Patty s Industrial Hygiene 4 Volume Set written by Vernon E. Rose and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-02-14 with total page 2875 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the first edition in 1948, Patty’s Industrial Hygiene and Toxicology has become a flagship publication for Wiley. In the course of its nearly six decades in print, it has evolved into a standard reference for the fields of occupational health and toxicology. The volumes on Industrial Hygiene are cornerstone reference works for chemists, engineers, toxicologists, and occupational safety personnel. Since the 5th edition was published, the field of IH has changed with personnel often working for multinational firms, self-employed, at small consulting firms. Their environment has changed and expanded, and thus also the types of information and resources required have changed. The traditional areas of interest to occupational health and safety professionals include anticipation, recognition, evaluation and control of potential hazards. In addition to these, the 6th edition provides information and reliable resources to prepare for natural disasters, exposures to biological agents and potential acts of terrorism.
