Environmental Monitoring Methods

Catalog description

The principles and techniques for measuring and evaluating health exposures in occupational and community environments are discussed in live sessions and practiced in laboratory sessions. Covered topics include air flow measurements, aerosol science, particulate sampling with and without size separation, optical microscopy, active and passive sampling of gases and vapors, direct reading instruments, stack sampling, atmospheric dispersion modeling, surface sampling, biomarkers, and noise dosimetry. In-person exposure assessments will be conducted on campus and summarized in laboratory reports.
