Containment Facilities and Safeguards: For Exotic Plant Pathogens and Pests

by Robert P. Kahn (Editor), S.B. Mathur (Editor)

Information about containment facility design traditionally has been scattered throughout the literature or maintained in files and reports kept by national quarantine services or research organizations that develop and use these facilities. With the globalization of trade, it has become necessary for all parties to upgrade existing facilities and services to ensure the safe import and export of agricultural products. This book brings to light containment safeguards from important international facilities in 12 countries. With the publication of this comprehensive volume, Kahn and Mathur fulfill the need to synthesize and make available to a large audience, information about principles, concepts, data, and guidelines relating to the design and function of a wide spectrum of containment facilities and safeguard procedures.
