Industrial hygienists and ventilation engineers know the name well: W.C.L. Hemeon. Since 1955, those professionals have frequently looked to Hemeon's Plant & Process Ventilation for essential information on industrial ventilation. Hemeon's longtime influence and inspiration has now prompted D. Jeff Burton-a prolific author on industrial ventilation himself-to produce a Fourth Edition of "the... Read more

Biography
Burton, D. Jeff
"Jeff Burton has done the occupational community a big service by bringing Hemeon's book to a new readership. This book will be of value to occupational hygiene students, practitioners, academics and researchers…I recommend all occupational hygienists interested and involved in control to buy or borrow and study this book. There is still a lot to do to make the design of occupational hygiene controls an accurate and precise affair and perhaps it says something about the speed of progress in this field that we often cannot improve on what Hemeon published over 45 years ago."
--Mark Piney, in the Annals of Occupational Hygiene, Vol. 45/2
