This revised text discusses key aspects for protective gloves, including glove
materials, the manufacture of gloves, how to perform testing of gloves, and glove
performance.
The book provides guidance on how to select gloves to prevent skin contamination
from chemical and microbial exposure in the occupational environment and presents
hard-to-find information in one easy-to-use resource. It covers important concepts,
including prevention of contact dermatitis, clinical testing of occupation-related
glove sensitivity, and infection control and preventative measures for pandemics.
The book
* Provides update state-of-the-art information, practices, standards, and
guidelines.
* Covers information on protective glove material technology, protective
effects, and adverse medical effects.
* Explores ways to select gloves to prevent skin contamination from chemical
and microbial exposure in the occupational environment.
* Discusses concepts, including glove materials, the manufacture of gloves,
how to perform testing of gloves, and glove performance according to
standardized technical methods in vivo.
The text will be useful for professionals in the fields of occupational and industrial
hygiene, health care, and public health. It will also help graduate students in the fields
of chemistry, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, biology, pharmacy, and
environmental health. This book offers a wealth of information on protective glove
material technology, protective effects, and adverse medical effects. It gives detailed
discussion of parameters, including the selection and use of gloves for industrial
chemicals, acrylates, and pesticides, and gloves as protection against microbial
contamination. It will be a valuable resource for professionals and graduate students
in the fields of occupational and industrial hygiene, healthcare, public health,
chemistry, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, biology, pharmacy, and
environmental health.
