A great book describing health hazards in a variety of industries. Describes many of the industries where IH really got a strong start. Many of us no longer work in these industries, but there are still questions on the exam based on prevalent exposures in specific businesses. Recommend reading chapters on welding, abrasive blasting, and surface coatings.
This book provides an in-depth review of toxicology. It is an excellent source of information on a difficult subject for the exam.
Describes the operation of most air sampling instruments. A good reference book for your library. A little pricey if you are only using it to study for the exam.
A great text on radiation. Good reference book for your library, but probably not the best investment in studying for the exam.
