This book was the required text for an introductory industrial hygiene course I took. The text is very easy to read and informative for someone with no or very little background in IH or occupational safety/health. The chapters are fairly well-organized, with review and critical-thinking questions at the end of each section/chapter to allow the reader to test himself. Each chapter also includes a summary of the key points for quick review. Being new to the IH/OSH field, I've learned several IH and OSH calculations and the reasoning behind them from this book, calculations that will prove beneficial for ASP/CSP exams. I highly recommend this book for those just starting out and those who would like a review of the basics before taking an exam.

Excellent review of the basics of Industrial Hygiene. Anyone interested in specializing will find this a helpful primer to test whether you want to go on to more advanced education in the field. Warning--you'l need lot's of math and science to do well.

It is unfortunate that the only review other than mine is that of a seller who was slow or negligient in sending the book to a student. Try to save money and this can happen. The text is a great introductin to IH and Debra Nims has done a wonderful job in constructing a solid text. Very nicely done!The review before this one is not of the text, but of a seller. This book should be five stars.

Love the fact that I can purchase a book at a discount price and be able to send it back!
