Biological Risk Engineering Handbook

Biological risk engineering is an extension of industrial hygiene that involves the assessment, control, and decontamination of indoor biological risks. This handbook analyzes the fundamentals of biological risk and the engineering methods used to determine and reduce this risk. From assessment methods to design options, the authors present advanced techniques and practices to measure, control, and contain human exposure to biological contaminants such as molds, fungi, and biocides. They also include a mold/fungi/yeast dictionary that provides a visual reference of common microbial mold contaminants associated with sick building syndrome, indoor air quality, and other health risks.
