Overview of variety, dimensions, and frequencies of Asbestos and other Respirable Elongate Mineral Particles (REMPs) in human tissue and environment compiled during analysis of over 600 lung, lymph node, ovary, and omentum samples. This data shows the type and size distribution of Asbestos and REMPs most encountered in human tissue impacted by asbestos related diseases.
Almost 50 years ago government agencies (OSHA, EPA, NIOSH, WHO) deemed it necessary to regulate “Asbestos” which is defined as the asbestiform variety of six mineral types: Chrysotile, Amosite, Crocidolite, Anthophyllite, Tremolite, and Actinolite. However, other NONREGULATED asbestiform minerals, many exhibiting even greater toxicity than Asbestos exist in the natural environment.
Whether we like it or not asbestos is a part of our everyday life. When It comes to the homes we live in and offices we work at there may be a chance that asbestos has been there. Widely used in the 20th century for many of its uses, asbestos you can say has become the staple mineral for the U.S. and various other countries.
What is industrial hygiene? According to OSHA: “that science and art devoted to the anticipation, recognition, evaluation, and control of those environmental factors or stresses arising in or from the workplace, which may cause sickness, impaired health and well-being, or significant discomfort among workers or among the citizens of the community.”
Many workplaces have experienced sub-40% occupancy levels for the past two years, while some polls indicate close to 90% of employees have health concerns about returning to work. The two data points are linked: increasing trust and confidence in workplace safety will increase the probability and accelerate the timeline for full occupancy.
You will learn an overview of mold and the health effects associated with mold exposure. We will discuss hypersensitivity diseases and the important fungal infections, especially those caused by environmental exposure.
It’s essential to develop defined hypotheses and investigative strategies to accurately interpret data from mold sampling. You will learn methods for developing hypotheses from initial interviews with clients and onsite visual inspections and outlining sampling strategies to test these hypotheses. You will also learn how to interpret data from each type of strategy and suggestions for presenting data to clients.
