This reference manual was prepared to assist electric utilities in helping homeowners, builders, and new home buyers to understand a broad range of issues related to indoor air quality. The manual is directed to technically knowledgeable persons employed by utility companies -the customer service or marketing representative, applications engineer, or technician- who may not have specific expertise in indoor air quality issues. In addition to providing monitoring and control techniques, the manual summarizes the link between pollutant concentrations, air exchange, and energy conservation and describes the characteristics and health effects of selected pollutants. Where technical information is too lengthy or complex for inclusion in this volume, reference sources are given. Figures and tables are presented to complement text material. Information for this manual was gathered from technical studies, manufacturers information, and other materials from professional societies, institutes, and associations. The aim has been to provide objective technical and descriptive information that can be used by utility personnel to make informed decisions about indoor air quality issues.

The development of indoor air quality,
This review is from: Manual on Indoor Air Quality (Paperback)
It is unusual for the authors of a book to warn prospective readers of their book, but my colleague Rick Diamond and I feel we must let potential readers know that this book, which lists us as authors, is a reprint of a report we did for the Electric Power Research Institute in 1984, and was republished last year without our knowledge. The publisher, University Press of the Pacific, states that they look for reports in the public domain that address timely subjects and offer them for sale to the public. While the information in the book is a useful summary of residential indoor air quality, it only covers the field up to 1984-a serious drawback for anyone looking for current information. So we suggest that unless you are interested in the historical aspects of this subject, you should consult more recent books.

Caveat Emptor,

This review is from: Manual on Indoor Air Quality (Paperback)
This is a State of the Art book.
Unfortunately it is the State of the Art of 20 years ago because it is a republication of a public domain document from 1984. One does not get that idea from the publicaton date, however. I heartily recommend it for the historians looking to see what the current thinking was during the first Reagan administration. Others may want something more current.
