This course provides an in-depth study of specific industrial hygiene topics that are vital to advanced practice of industrial hygiene. Mastery of these topics will provide students with a solid background to prepare for certification examinations in industrial hygiene and to have an academic knowledge of industrial hygiene that is congruent with managing industrial hygiene programs. Upon completion of this course, students should be able to understand the origins and applications of Threshold Limit Values (TLVs) to a variety of chemical and physical hazards that are encountered in dynamic work environments. In addition, students will gain an understanding of how these TLVs are related to specific and non-specific health effects and what sampling methodology and control measures can be utilized to manage potential adverse health effects from occupational exposures to chemical and physical agents.
