About the Author WILLIAM C. HINDS, PhD, is a professor in the Department of Environmental Health Sciences at the UCLA School of Public Health. His primary research interest is fundamental and applied research related to aerosols and industrial control of airborne contaminants, including respiratory protection. A Diplomate of the American Board of Industrial Hygiene (comprehensive practice) and a Fellow of the American Industrial Hygiene Association, he has published numerous articles on aerosols.

Very helpful customer reviews 6 of 7 people found the following review helpful. The main work on aerosols by John F. Koerner, MPH, CIH, which the New Testament is that Christians and the Torah is for Jews, this work is fundamental literature to understand aerosols and aerosol understand. You enter as a novice in terms of human explanation and continued throughout most of the mundate and all the statistics, and then detonate the fascination of aerosols. Through comprehensive, yet comprehensable language, this is the first and only way to understand what has been an elusive and dissemination of knowledge was. Each edition features the latest technology and thought. A best first. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Feel free to write Dr. Hinds! As a customer How are aerosol cans of hairspray that refer to a carbonated beverage or a sponge? It has to do with ground and the media distorts the distribution. With these thoughts, provoking, William C. Hinds introduces us to the partculars suspended particles: aerosols. Mr. Hinds has done an amazing company here. The understanding of this complex area requires knowledge of at least one year of college calculus. With an eloquent writing style laced with detours and diversions, describes the various phenomena of aerosols, including the rate of sedimentation of inhaled particles and scattering of light, dust explosions, and more. His description of aerosol measurement techniques is interesting and detailed. (You'd be surprised at the complexity of the physics filter!) What is really special, however, is its ability to describe in words what the equations are saying. You can enter a meaning for the phenomena described, although some differences perplexing. With the problems (and their answers - Solutions NO) at the end of each chapter, it is an ideal text for graduate students in public health, engineering, industrial hygiene and toxicology professionals working in these areas, however, is the book a valuable reference. The text is full of useful tables and figures, and the most rigorous tests of important formulas presented in the appendices. References at the end of each chapter. 15 years old, still a reference book. Oh - and the sponge? The dispersed phase is air, is to cancel the media. Hmm. 1 of 1 people found this review helpful. Excellent guide for the behavior of aerosols in different programs! With the help of a guide with excellent customer behavior of particles ... I am involved in research on understanding in depth behavior aerosols is a need in the electrostatic powder coating and separation. This is an excellent resource and should be part of your professional library. See all 6 reviews ....
