Winner of the 2011 BMA book awards: medicine categoryIn the five decades since its first publication, Hunter's Diseases of Occupations has remained the pre-eminent text on diseases caused by work, universally recognized as the most authoritative source of information in the field. It is an important guide for doctors in all disciplines who may

Building on the foundation set by its best-selling predecessors, the Groundwater Chemicals Desk Reference, Fourth Edition is both a broad, comprehensive desk reference and a guide for field research. This fourth edition contains more than 1,700 additional references, including adsorption data for more than 800 organic compounds and metals, s

The World Health Organization, through the International Health Regulations (2005), recommends the use of disinsection techniques in aircraft to help to minimize the spread of mosquito-borne diseases.The control measures recommended by WHO include the use of chemical insecticides (WHO, 1985). WHO has published generic human health risk assessment models for insecticides used for other public health purposes (WHO, 2011a and 2011b), and a decision was taken by WHO to develop a risk assessment model for aircraft disinsection insecticides, based on the same principles. In order to assist Member States who are required to assess aircraft disinsection insecticides within their jurisdiction, a number of product types currently used or proposed for use have been evaluated according to the risk assessment model. In this publication, the generic risk assessment model (with worked examples) is presented first, in Part A, along with the description of the process used to develop the model. The evaluation of the different types of aircraft disinsection product against the risk assessment model is presented in Part B.

Volumetric properties play an important role in research at the interface of physical chemistry and chemical engineering, but keeping up with the latest developments in the field demands a broad view of the literature. Presenting a collection of concise, focused chapters, this book offers a comprehensive guide to the latest developments in the field and a starting point for more detailed research. The chapters are written by acknowledged experts, covering theory, experimental methods, techniques, and results on all types of liquids and vapours. The editors work at the forefront of thermodynamics in mixtures and solutions and have brought together contributions from all areas related to volume properties, offering a synergy of ideas across the field. Graduates, researchers and anyone working in the field of volumes will find this book to be their key reference.
