Patty's Industrial Hygiene has had a reputation for the past 70 years of providing up to date information for the experienced as well as novice industrial hygienist.
The field of IH continues to evolve with personnel working for multinational firms, small consulting firms, or self-employed. Currently, industrial hygienists not only have to worry about occupational health and safety concerns of global workforce which is more diverse, they often provide environmental health information for large companies, as well as large and small government agencies.
In response to these changes, the 7th edition of Patty's Industrial Hygiene has added new industrial hygiene/safety topics and updated existing ones. This new edition addresses the needs brought about by globalization and the need for many professionals to expand their roles. This 7th Edition used reviewers from different regions of the world to ensure accuracy, comprehension and completeness of the topics covered by the worldwide contributors, and to cover topics of interest globally. Some of these new topics include robotics, sensors, health and safety issues related to new energy technologies, construction, and cannabis.
