Evaluation of workplace conditions is the backbone of traditional industrial hygiene. This may include air monitoring for one or many toxic and hazardous substances, monitoring of workers' exposures to noise, study of existing ventilation systems and assistance in altering or improving design, measurement of thermal extremes leading to heat stress or hypothermia, monitoring of potential exposure to ionizing or nonionizing radiation, or evaluation of potential exposure to microorganisms. There are dozens of methods for monitoring worker or environmental exposure including use of electronic instruments and other direct reading instrumentation, and personal monitoring using small passive monitors or battery operated personal sampling air pumps to draw air through specific media. There are specific sampling methods which have been tested and approved by agencies such as NIOSH, AIHA, EPA, ANSI, and OSHA. Almost every occupational or environmental exposure or contaminant can be monitored in a meaningful way using proven techniques and appropriate instrumentation. | ||||||||||
