The Role of the IH in a Pandemic, Part 1 (AIHce EXP 2022 OnDemand)
Course Description:
Recorded at AIHce EXP 2022

The "Role of the Industrial Hygienist in a Pandemic) (2nd edition) was published in August, 2021. Although the book provides an update on many topics covered in the first edition (2006), it does not explicitly suggest that new research is needed to anticipate, recognize, evaluate, or control pandemic agents for either COVID-19 or future pandemics. For example, research is needed to better understand airborne and contact transmission and exposure banding for infectious agents. Work needs to be done to understand how to design samplers for both viable and nonviable agents. The need to develop new metrics for appropriate ventilation, air cleaning, and respirators for infectious agents, before, during and after a pandemic is critical. The objective of this session is to review the concepts covered in the book's exposure assessments and controls section and formulate the research needed to bridge gaps in our knowledge of these subjects.

Learning Outcomes
At the end of this lecture, attendees will:
  • Review the concepts covered in the book's exposure assessment and controls section.
  • Formulate research needed to bridge gaps in our knowledge of exposure assessment and controls.
  • Communicate knowledge on these research gaps to colleagues and leadership in the profession.
