Summary:

Covering the entire spectrum of medical gases, this ready reference offers a comprehensive overview of production, medical gas equipment, medical gas verification, and medical gas safety standards. With a clear focus throughout on safety, the text recommends environmentally responsible manufacturing practices during each step of the process: manufacture, storage, transport, distribution, and in applications. It also discusses standards and regulations, in particular those of the European Union. An essential guide for researchers and professionals whose work includes the manufacture, handling, or use of medical gases.
