Rezensionen
"This book is an outstanding treatise on all aspects of dust explosions, and will be an invaluable source of information to all process safety/loss prevention specialists involved with dust explosion hazards. Professor Eckhoff is to be highly commended for revising the previous editions to update the book so that it remains relevant and presents the latest developments in the technology." --Journal of Loss Prevention in the Process Industries
