Summary:

"Respiratory protective devices (RPD) are widely used for air pollution in the work environment and in everyday life. In various workplaces, RPDs serve to protect against chemical hazards occurring in many branches of industry, such as construction, mining, agriculture, shipbuilding, food, chemical and pharmaceutical. In everyday life, they are used for environmental and indoor pollutants. Cases of lung cancer have increased from air pollution. This book provides the essential lifesaving knowledge for choosing the proper respiratory equipment for the prevention against the nanoparticles. Ideal for safety engineers and the health and safety professionals in the field"-- Provided by publisher.
