Nanoaerosols, Air Filtering and Respiratory Protection - Science and Practice (Relié)

Recent toxicological studies show that nanoparticles released in technological processes and combustion processes outside industry can be dangerous for humans especially when entering the body through the mouth and nose. In this regard, the use of adequately effective respiratory protection equipment is of great importance in prophylactic and preventive activities. The first part of Nanoaerosols, Air Filtering and Respiratory Protection : Science and Practice refers to the general phenomenon of filtration described on the basis of the authors' own experience and international reports.
The book also includes a description of the respiratory system and principles of its functioning and the accumulation of aerosol particles. It goes on to discuss technological innovations regarding the production of filtering materials for protection against nanoparticles and the latest test methods. Finally, the book contains information about the proper selection and use of respiratory protective devices against airborne nanoparticles in the workplace and everyday life.
Special attention is paid to proper fit procedures as well as use and maintenance activities of such devices. The content of the book, with rich illustrative material, has been presented so that it can be used by health and safety experts, students, employers, employees and private users of respiratory protective devices.
