Abstract:
One important area in which change and improvement is needed in industrial hygiene practice is in the presentation of air sampling data. Many types of people rely on such industrial hygiene data when dealing with chemical exposures. Yet there is presently no standard of good practice among industrial hygienists and data is now presented in many different formats. Tables of data, many of which invite misinterpretation, are common. Adoption of the suggested report elements and tabular format presented here will help to establish a standard of good practice in the presentation of industrial hygiene sampling data.
