Microorganisms in Home and Indoor Work Environments: Diversity, Health Impacts, Investigation and Control

Microorganisms in Home and Indoor Work Environments: Diversity, Health Impacts, Investigation and Control


Brian Flannigan, Robert A. Samson, J. David Miller, "Microorganisms in Home and Indoor Work Environments: Diversity, Health Impacts, Investigation and Control"

Taylor & Francis / CRC; 1 edition (January 3, 2002) | English | 0415268001 | 504 pages | PDF | 17.34 MB


Although understanding of microorganisms in the home and work environment has accelerated in the last decade, fully elucidating their effects on human health has been hindered by problems of accurate assessment of exposure to microorganisms and precise identification of those present in the environment.

This book provides a comprehensive review of the types of microorganisms in outdoor and indoor air, their growth and control in home and indoor work environments, and their role in respiratory disease (such as rhinitis, asthma and occupational hypersensitivity pneumonitis) and respiratory tract infections including tuberculosis and legionnaires' disease. In addition, chapters address the twin problems of exposure assessment and identification, as well as the methodology and conduct of investigations of indoor environments.
