商品簡介
In this update of his enduring text (first published in 1975) McCann (industrial hygiene and chemistry, Columbia U., New York) provides an overview of the hazards for artists of all types working with a variety of materials, tools, and environments. Early chapters address how art materials including solvents and aerosol sprays, acids and alkalis, and metals affect the body. The chapters in part two address the hazards of specific media such as: painting, printmaking, ceramics, stone, woodworking, plastics sculpture, welding, enameling, photography, textiles, and commercial and graphic arts. One chapter is dedicated to children and art materials. The final part covers safety in the studio including the substitution of safer materials and processes and details on personal protective equipment (including material-dependant types of filters for respirators). The appendices list contact information for US occupational health clinics as well as places to find art safety equipment. Annotation c2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
