Physical Agents in the Environment and Workplace Noise and Vibrations, Electromagnetic Fields and Ionizing Radiation
Coordonnateurs : Licitra Gaetano, d'Amore Giovanni, Magnoni Mauro
This book explores environmental physical agents and their potential effect on public and occupational health. It considers the theory, current research, and applications of physical agents including noise, ionizing radiation protection and non ionizing radiation protection, and explores the monitoring, measurement, modeling and mitigation of each of these.
Features:
- Covers all three physical agents in one comprehensive book
- Presents the latest results from research, as well as theory
- Contributed to by a panel of international experts
