by Susan D. Shaw and Monona Rossol

This indispensable guide covers all the risks faced by photographers, lab personnel, and others involved with photographic chemicals and discusses how to ensure their health and safety. Coverage includes setting up a safe workplace, a review of which chemicals are harmful in various types of photographic processes, health issues in conservation and restoration, and right-to-know laws.

Reviews

"This is an excellent book for the darkroom worker with invaluable tips about the potential hazards present in the darkroom. Buy it."

�Camera and Darkroom Photography

". . . speaks with authority on matters vital to a lot of photographers and photo lab workers."

�Photo Life, Canada

"Shaw and Rossol's well-organized compendium of explanations and precautions for photographic workers is outstanding in the way that the material is organized and cross-referenced. . . . Recommended for all libraries."

�Choice

"This inexpensive book should be available in every laboratory involved with photography."

�Bulletin Microscopial Society of Canada

". . . valuable reading for people involved in health and safety training, and essential reading for anyone in the field of photography--including students, instructors and lab technicians--concerned about toxic chemicals and their potentially dangerous effects."

�Communication Arts

"It is a classic in the field and belongs in the library of every school, university, film lab and photographer. If you buy and read only one new book this year, make it this one."

�ASMP, Norcal

"Accessibly written for the practicing photographer, this should be required reading for all working or merely seeking pleasure in photography."

�Alpha Newsletter

"Susan Shaw and Monona Rossol have done a great service in writing OVEREXPOSURE. This book offers a clear and concise treatment of the subject of health and safety in photography, without using a sensationalistic tone."

�New Hampshire Arts

"This book should be as essential as film to a photographer setting up a safety and health program. It would also be a useful tool for industrial hygienists with responsibility for photographers. . . . "The information is not presented as a sermon, and it is genuinely helpful. It should be required reading for all teachers of photography."
