Every branch of science, every profession, and every engineering
process has its own language for communication. Environmental
health and environmental science are no different. To work within
these major environmental fields, you must acquire a fundamental
but wide-ranging vocabulary and knowledge of the components that
make them up. An understanding of the tools, techniques, and key
terms and concepts in the interrelated fields of environmental
health and science is necessary for effective practice. In
Environmental Health and Science Desk Reference, authors Frank R.
Spellman and Revonna M. Bieber define and explain the terms and
concepts used by environmental professionals, environmental science
professionals, safety practitioners and engineers, and non-science
professionals. Environmental science and health and occupational
health and safety are not single topics, but rather a complex,
colorful, and diversified array of interrelated subjects including
all of the basic sciences, computer science, government,
engineering, measurement, physics, health and disease, energy,
security, disease, injury identification prevention and control,
and much more. The practicing environmental specialist or student
of environmental science, technology, health and safety engineering
should know these topics. Without some knowledge of these topics it
is difficult (if not impossible) to practice in any of the
environmental fields. The authors of this comprehensive reference
work have more than 35 years of practical experience in
environmental health and science. They have selected and explained
more than 6,000 terms in this authoritative reference. The entries
range from single-sentence definitions for the simplest terms, to
explanations of over 1,000 words for the most complex or important
concepts. The authors demonstrate many of the entries with examples
or case studies, and the reference includes more than 100 drawings
and diagrams, which illustrate the most important principles of
these fields. Spellman and Bieber provide an accessible guide to
the language and background knowledge necessary for work in
environmental fields, writing in straightforward English and
avoiding technical jargon wherever possible. This is an essential
reference for anyone working in environmental health, environmental
science, and related fields.
