Chemical Exposure Monitoring
 The term
"chemical exposure monitoring" typically means the measurement
of employee exposure to airborne vapors or particles of hazardous chemicals.
OH&S maintains several pieces of specialized chemical exposure monitoring
equipment in order to monitor WSU employee chemical exposure to a large
variety of toxic substances.
OH&S will provide, upon request, an evaluation of the potential for
airborne exposure of laboratory employees to toxic chemicals. The evaluation
may include actual air sampling to determine the exposure concentration
and dose. Evaluations regularly conducted by EH&S industrial hygiene
staff include those for formaldehyde, solvents, isocyanates, asbestos
and lead.|
