Preface
Since the publication of the Second Edition of The Occupational Environment: Its Evaluation,
Control, and Management in 2003, the role of the industrial hygienist has continued to evolve
and expand. The scope of responsibilities for most industrial hygienists now includes at least
some aspects of safety, environmental, sustainability, quality, security, emergency response,
or part of another ancillary discipline. But, even with all of these changes, one thing has
remained constant — the need for qualified, trained professionals who can anticipate, recognize,
evaluate, and control potential health hazards that arise in and from the workplace.
The increasing reliance on technology, the expanding world of nanotechnology, the continuing
globalization of business and industry, and the changing definition of “workplace” all
contribute to the complexities of potential exposures and the challenges of assessing risk of
exposure. Terms like exposure risk assessment and management have become part of the
language used to describe traditional industrial hygiene responsibilities to a broader international
audience.
