This is the only book that covers containment, specifically for the process industries. This Guide covers the range of containment equipment from simple air-flow control devices to enclosures that restrict exposures to well below a microgram per cubic meter averaged over a working day. The selection of a particular containment system for a particular transfer operation can be difficult because of the wide choice available. This Guide provides a structured approach to the selection process. Covers the legislation for containment guidelines in the US, UK, a

As the manufacture of new toxic pharmaceutical products grows, it is necessary to handle more compounds of increasing toxicity in the workplace. For this reason, and because the expectation of better employee protection and improved working procedures is growing, there is an increasing demand for better containment systems and a better understanding of those systems. The selection of a particular containment system for a specific containment operation can be a difficult decision, due to the extensive choice of technology available. Providing a structured approach to the selection process, this

Written by local health economics experts, each of the eight chapters in this timely handbook and ready reference describes the national healthcare system of a different industrialized country. In each case, the 4-5 specific policies with the highest impact on that respective country over the past 20-30 years are identified. In addition, the economic characteristics of each policy are described and, where possible, its success evaluated, discussing the current policy agenda. A final chapter summarizes and synthesizes the major points of the analysis. While the main focus is on economics, t
