This review is from: Patty's Industrial Hygiene and Toxicology, 3 Volume Set, 10 Parts (v. 1-3) (Hardcover)

This series of books is the ultimate reference for industrial hygienists. While the sheer size of Patty's is daunting, it should be on every IH's bookshelf. If you need to know anything about the toxicology of a chemical or other workplace health hazards, chances are it's in Patty's.
