Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Air Monitoring Instrumentation A Manual for Emergency, Investigatory, and Remedial Responders Carol J. Maslansky / Steven P. Maslansky Hazardous emergency responders and safety personnel take note—if you’ve ever needed a hands-on manual that gives easy-to-understand, step-by-step instruction on the function, use, operation, and limitations of air monitoring instruments, Air Monitoring Instrumentation is that manual. This straightforward guide is written by two noted consultants in the field, who have had many years of experience utilizing and teaching the proper use of air monitoring equipment. While many books address the theory and science behind air sampling, this is the only sourcebook that actually teaches the proper use of many different types of instruments, while also providing information on properly recording and interpreting readings. The instruments covered here are some of the most popular pieces of equipment in use today, and include: combustible gas indicators • electrochemical sensors • colorimetric detector tubes • photoionization detectors • flame ionization detectors • toxic gas leak detectors • radiation meters. With the help of numerous examples drawn from actual field operations, Air Monitoring Instrumentation demonstrates how to evaluate, operate, and interpret instrument responses during emergency, investigatory, and remedial operations. You can improve your comprehension of each piece of equipment and its application through learning objectives, review questions, and problem sets found throughout the book. Carefully presented examples, diagrams, and photographs also help to build your understanding of the equipment and its proper use. Air Monitoring Instrumentation’s uniquely practical, useful coverage gives you a vital understanding of: the pros and cons of different manufacturers, models, and designs, including older discontinued models still in common use, and modifications available to basic models strategies for choosing the best air monitoring devices for specific applications, including emergency response, industrial situations, confined space hazards, and hazardous waste site operations specific limitations for the most commonly used devices, including information not found in manufacturers’ manuals and much more When you use Air Monitoring Instrumentation, you’ll also get access to extensive checklists, conversion tables, and field report forms—vital parts of instrument deployment. This extremely practical, expert guide will be an essential working tool for hazardous material responders, industrial hygienists, safety professionals, health departments, and industrial and manufacturing site workers.

Download or read book Enhanced Living Environments written by Ivan Ganchev and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-01-18 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book was prepared as a Final Publication of the COST Action IC1303 “Algorithms, Architectures and Platforms for Enhanced Living Environments (AAPELE)”. The concept of Enhanced Living Environments (ELE) refers to the area of Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) that is more related with Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Effective ELE solutions require appropriate ICT algorithms, architectures, platforms, and systems, having in view the advance of science and technology in this area and the development of new and innovative solutions that can provide improvements in the quality of life for people in their homes and can reduce the financial burden on the budgets of the healthcare providers. The aim of this book is to become a state-of-the-art reference, discussing progress made, as well as prompting future directions on theories, practices, standards, and strategies related to the ELE area. The book contains 12 chapters and can serve as a valuable reference for undergraduate students, post-graduate students, educators, faculty members, researchers, engineers, medical doctors, healthcare organizations, insurance companies, and research strategists working in this area.

Download or read book Meteorological Measurements and Instrumentation written by Giles Harrison and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-01-20 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the fundamental scientific principles underlying high quality instrumentation used for environmental measurements. It discusses a wide range of in situ sensors employed in practical environmental monitoring and, in particular, those used in surface based measurement systems. It also considers the use of weather balloons to provide a wealth of upper atmosphere data. To illustrate the technologies in use it includes many examples of real atmospheric measurements in typical and unusual circumstances, with a discussion of the electronic signal conditioning, data acquisition considerations and data processing principles necessary for reliable measurements. This also allows the long history of atmospheric measurements to be placed in the context of the requirements of modern climate science, by building the physical science appreciation of the instrumental record and looking forward to new and emerging sensor and recording technologies.
