A newly published book examines elongate mineral particles (EMPs), including asbestos and non-asbestos mineral fibers, with a focus on mineralogical characterization, classification frameworks, exposure assessment considerations, toxicological evaluation, and risk analysis in occupational and environmental settings. Co-authored by C&IH’s Dr. Andrey Korchevskiy and Dr. Ann Wylie, Elongate Mineral Particles: Characterization, Classification, and Risk Analysis was […]

A technical session on laboratory ventilation risk assessment and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling will be presented by C&IH and Padre Consulting at SESHA’s 48th Annual Symposium, held April 13–16, 2026, in Tempe, Arizona. The presentation, Using Computational Fluid Dynamics to Assess and Optimize Laboratory Ventilation, will examine performance-based approaches to evaluating laboratory airflow and […]

A Professional Development Course on the fundamentals of industrial hygiene in semiconductor manufacturing and other technology industries will be presented by C&IH and Padre Consulting at SESHA’s 48th Annual Symposium, held April 13–16, 2026, in Tempe, Arizona. The course, Industrial Hygiene in the Semiconductor Industry: Key Hazards, Controls, and Best Practices, provides a focused introduction […]

A technical session on risk assessment for elongate mineral particles (EMPs) will be presented by C&IH’s Dr. Andrey Korchevskiy at the ASBESTOS 2026 Conference in Sydney, Australia, held March 2-4, 2026. The session, Risk Assessment for Elongate Mineral Particles (EMPs): Scientific Findings and Practical Methodology, will address current frameworks for exposure assessment and risk characterization […]

C&IH is pleased to welcome Savannah Froggatt to our team. Ms. Froggatt holds a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science in Chemistry from Western Washington University and has joined C&IH as an Industrial Hygiene Technician. Ms. Froggatt provides project support to C&IH’s field services division with on-site exposure assessment and sample collection activities, […]

A new peer-reviewed article co-authored by C&IH scientists advances understanding of how the size (length and width) of elongate mineral particles affects their retention in the human lung and the implications for occupational-exposure risk assessment. The study, “Size-dependent retention of elongate mineral particles in human lungs: modeling and implications for risk assessment,” was published in […]

A new article published in The Synergist explores how modern risk paradigms intersect with AIHA’s current content priorities and influence occupational and environmental health and safety practice. The article, titled “The Keystone: Risk Paradigms and AIHA Content Priorities,” examines how traditional and emerging risk frameworks align with the so-called “content priorities” – the directions of […]

A new study co-authored by C&IH advances the methodology of modeling exposure thresholds for asbestos-related mesothelioma, offering fresh insight into how different fiber types may exhibit distinct dose-response behaviors. The article, “Comparison of various methodological approaches to model asbestos thresholds for mesothelioma,” was published in 2025 in Frontiers in Public Health, by Dr. Julie Goodman […]

C&IH has arranged a symposium on talc risk assessment for the upcoming 2025 Annual Meeting of the Society for Risk Analysis (SRA) being held at the Westin Downtown Washington, D.C., from December 7 through 10, 2025. The symposium is titled T4-H: Talc Around Us – Using Risk Assessment to Navigate Hazards. Sessions for the symposium […]

A peer-reviewed study co-authored by C&IH presents updated exposure estimates for the historic Québec chrysotile miner and miller cohort, offering new insight into risk assessment and threshold modeling for mesothelioma. The article, “Updates on exposure estimation for the Québec cohort of chrysotile miners and millers: implications for risk assessment and threshold hypothesis,” was published in […]

Industrial hygiene consulting is a cornerstone of workplace health and safety, helping organizations anticipate, recognize, evaluate, and control occupational health risks before they become incidents. Across every sector, from heavy industry to healthcare, workers face occupational hazards that can lead to illness, injury, or long-term health effects if not properly managed. Understanding what those hazards […]

The AIHA Rocky Mountain Section’s 31st Annual Fall Technical Conference will take place this year on October 7th and 8th at the Denver Police Protective Association located in Denver, Colorado.  C&IH will be presenting two sessions: Andrey Korchevski, PhD, DABT, CIH, Director of Research and Development will be presenting “Carcinogenicity Evaluation vs. Risk Assessment: Interpreting […]
