Occupational and Environmental Hygiene II

Quantitative evaluation of the workplace environment for the presence of hazardous chemical agents, using active and passive sampling procedures and biological monitoring; analytical chemical techniques; application of modelling for exposure assessment; instrumentation for field measurements of airborne contaminants in the workplace.
Lab reports, modelling assignment, written sampling protocols, class group presentations, and a final exam required

to have developed skills in the methods used quantitatively evaluate chemical agents present in the workplace environment
to be able to demonstrate a working knowledge of principles of operation of typical analytical chemical techniques used in occupational hygiene
to develop a working knowledge of exposure modelling techniques and their application
to have developed a working knowledge of the application of direct reading instrumentation to field measurement of airborne contaminants
to know the principles of biological monitoring for exposure assessment
to be able communicate results of field assessments in a professional manner
Undertake air modelling to estimate occupational exposures
