Hinds, William C. : University of California-Los Angeles
William C. Hinds, PhD, is a professor in the Department of Environmental Health Sciences at the UCLA School
of Public Health. His primary research interest is fundamental and applied research related to aerosols and industrial
control of airborne contaminants, including respiratory protection. A Diplomate of the American Board of Industrial
Hygiene (comprehensive practice) and a Fellow of the American Industrial Hygiene Association, he has published
numerous articles on aerosols.
Summary
This title details the science behind airborne particles. From pollen to auto exhaust to ozone-destroying fluorocarbons
to the technology behind coating microchips and building fiber optics, airborne particles affect the lives of everyone
on the planet. The first edition of Hinds's Aerosol Technology appeared in 1982 when aerosol science was
a relatively new field. Since the publication of this early, pioneering work, a great deal of research and development
has been done in aerosols across a broad range of application areas, including the use of aerosols in high technology
material processing and the administration of therapeutic drugs, an increased awareness of bioaerosols, aerosol
contamination in microelectronics manufacturing, and the effect of aerosols on global climate. The expansion of
the field, both in technology and the number of scientists involved, has created the need to update and expand
the original book.
