Summary:

Annotation Contains papers presented at an October 1999 symposium held in New Orleans, Louisiana, on cabin air quality measurements, chemicals and toxicity, standards, modeling and control of cabin air quality, cabin air quality and emerging issues, and relationships between cabin environment factors and comfort and health responses. The effect of recirculation on aircraft cabin air quality, past monitoring studies, and a proposed indoor air quality metric for estimation of the combined effects of gaseous contaminants on human health and comfort are some of the subjects discussed. Lacks a subject index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR.
