Head, Eye, and Face Personal Protective Equipment: New Trends,
Practice, and Applications presents protective equipment in the
context of the latest design trends, materials, and technologies.
It informs the reader using basic safety principles to avoid issues
with commonly used personal protective equipment (PPE), such as
helmets and eye and face protectors. It provides the latest design
trends in eye and face protectors to avoid optical hazards and for
use in variable lighting conditions. Features: • Fills the gap on
current solutions of PPE and occupational safety • Educates in
reducing risk connected with using industrial safety gear •
Helpful to optometrists in the selection of eye protection for
people with visual impairments • Instructs the reader on choosing
smart materials and safety products • Provides best practices for
checking the technical condition of the equipment This book is
essential for the safety professional and medical experts in the
field. It provides an interdisciplinary approach to personal
protective equipment using new technologies in the field. "The
monograph Head, Eye, and Face Personal Protective Equipment - New
Trends, Practice and Applications is a complementary and thoughtful
but selected compilation of the most relevant information
concerning protective helmets as well as eye and face protection.
The compilation of these two protection types is the result of the
common use of both protective helmets and eye and face protectors.
This requires their full compatibility, both in terms of ensuring
optimum safety and comfort of use. The authors have chosen the
material according to the needs of people directly responsible for
safety at work and users of those protectors. The main aim of the
work is to popularise knowledge in the field of construction,
research methods, selection and use of protective helmets and eye
and face protectors. In terms of use, the authors emphasise the
necessity of independent control, i.e. checking the technical
condition of the equipment used by the end users. The presented
monograph includes the current state of knowledge in this scope,
extended by the results and summaries of the authors' own research.
All requirements and research methods are given based on European
(EN), international (ISO) standards and standards operating in
different geographical areas. The monograph also encompasses new
trends in the design of protective helmets and eye and face
protectors. All this allows me to emphasize the uniqueness of this
monograph in relation to previous publications in this field, both
in terms of the scope and selection of information concerning
protective helmets and eye and face protectors." — Ryszard

'Protection against harmful bioaerosol is one of today's major
concerns. This applies both to people inside and outside the work
environment. In this book, renowned scientists provide up-to-date
and authoritative reviews of the latest scientific research and
practice that has contributed to our understanding of the
harmfulness of the bioaerosol and protection against it. A detailed
discussion of bioaerosol protection methods and equipment as well
as presenting future trends in prognostic modelling are the
undeniable value of this monograph. This comprehensive book is
indispensable for anyone involved in occupational and environmental
hygiene, biological hazard, recognition and control in occupational
and public environments'. - Bogumil Brycki, Adam Mickiewicz
University The threats of biological airborne hazards are a global
danger throughout the world today. Respiratory Protection Against
Hazardous Biological Agents covers sources and practices of
bioaerosol sampling, and discusses the prevention of these airborne
hazards. The most common workplace hazard is poor air quality. The
book provides the basic principles of a safe work environment in
the conditions where workers might be exposed to harmful
bioaerosols. It presents key characteristics of biological hazards
and their effects on the human body. It examines microbial growth
in filtering materials and provides the details of specific risks
for users of respiratory protective devices. The book will present
the reader a guide on how to measure the risk of exposure of
biological agents and properly select respiratory protective
devices. The book is ideal for the health and safety professionals
and experts in the field of environmental health. FEATURES:
Evaluates the risk of exposure to biological agents Describes the
characteristics of biological factors and their effects on the
human body Provides training on the importance of respiratory
protective devices Examines microorganisms in the work environment
Provides examples and case studies

Recent toxicological studies show that nanoparticles released in
technological processes and combustion processes outside industry
can be dangerous for humans especially when entering the body
through the mouth and nose. In connection with the above, the use
of adequately effective respiratory protection equipment is of
great importance in prophylactic and preventive activities. The
first part of Nanoaerosols, Air Filtering and Respiratory
Protection: Science and Practice refers to the general phenomena of
filtration described on the basis of the authors' own experience
and international reports. The book also includes a description of
the respiratory system and principles of its functioning and the
accumulation of aerosol particles. It goes on to discuss
technological innovations regarding the production of filtering
materials for protection against nanoparticles and the latest test
methods. Finally, the book contains information about the proper
selection and use of respiratory protective devices against
airborne nanoparticles in the workplace and everyday life. Special
attention is paid to proper fit procedures as well as use and
maintenance activities of such devices. The content of the book
with rich illustrative material has been presented so that it can
be used by health and safety experts, students as well as
employers, employees and private users of respiratory protective
devices. "Through a comprehensive approach to the subject of the
work, the authors present theoretical foundations as well as
practical solutions that are used in the research and development
of personal respiratory protection. The complementarity of the
information contained in the book will allow the reader to become
familiar with a wide range of knowledge related to the design and
manufacture as well as assessment of properties and procedures for
the use of respiratory protection against the adverse effects of
aerosols, including air contaminated with nanoparticles and
microparticles. In my opinion the book is a valuable part of the
series Occupational Safety, Health, and Ergonomics: Theory and
Practice, published by Taylor & Francis." -Maciej Bogun,
