This document provides an introduction and preface to the book "Air Sampling and Industrial Hygiene Engineering" by Martha J. Boss and Dennis W. Day. It discusses the importance of applying collective environmental knowledge to protect people in various settings such as workplaces, schools, and homes. It also describes the need for an interdisciplinary approach to understand air monitoring, risk assessment, and engineering controls to ensure healthy indoor environments. The preface outlines the book's chapters which cover topics like air sampling instrumentation, calibration techniques, chemical and biological risk assessment, indoor air quality, area monitoring and more.
Workers can be exposed to a wide array of noise exposures doing different tasks. They also may be exposed to noise while at sporting venues or participating in variuos recreational activities. Evaluating noise exposure correctly is just as important as selecting the right controls. This presentation examines the physics of noise, how to measure it, who to include in a hearing conservation program, and what controls can be used to reduce the risk.

Surveillance is the ongoing, systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of health data essential to the planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health practice, which is closely integrated with the timely dissemination of these data to those who need to know. To be effective, surveillance must be directly linked to preventive action.
In the case of occupational health, the actions prompted by the surveillance system should be directed not only at the individual case or the affected group, but also at the responsible workplace factors.
Surveillance programs (i.e., 2ry prevention) should be designed to support programs intended to control workplace hazards (i.e., 1ry prevention).
In OSH, surveillance programs should:
• Identify cases of occupational illness or injury; and/or
• Monitor trends of occupational illness or injury.
Presentation on the 1986 Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster regarded as the worst nuclear disaster in the history
On 26 April 1986 the nuclear power plant near Pripyat in Ukraine burst and led to the death of many people and leaving more people disabled. This presentation explores the reasons behind the accident and the measures that were taken by the authorities.
Sound that is unwanted or disrupts one’s quality of life is called as noise. So, Noise is basically any unwanted sound.
In this type of pollution contaminants are not physical particles, but waves which interfere with the naturally occurring waves of a similar type in the same environment.
When there is a lot of noise in the environment it is turned as noise pollution. Sound becomes undesirable when it disturb the normal activities such as working, sleeping etc.
About 30 million workers are exposed to hazardous noise on the job. One in 4 of these workers (or 7.5 million Americans) will develop permanent hearing loss.Noise-induced hearing loss is the most common occupational hazard for American workers.Hearing loss from noise is slow and painless; you can have a disability before you notice it.If you must raise your voice to speak with someone only 3 feet away, you are in high (hazardous) noise. It is 100% preventable
The tutorial provides a complete assessment of occupational and environmental noise risk assessment, engineering controls, and discussion regarding the need for hearing conservation program for at-risk workers. Occupational and environmental noise can affect hearing as well as stress the cardiovascular system and psychosocial aspects of worklife. Learn how to evaluate noise exposures and determine the best control measure. When noise controls cannot reduce or eliminate the risk, hearing conservations programs should be constructed to protect workers.
