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 […]

C&IH will be presenting some of its latest research at the upcoming ASTM Rook Conference on Asbestos Issues, to be held August 4th to August 8th at the Pittsburgh Marriott City Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Dr. Ann Wylie, Senior Scientific Advisor at C&IH and Professor Emerita in the Department of Geology at the University of […]

Dr. Ann Wylie, C&IH senior scientific advisor and professor emerita at the University of Maryland’s Department of Geology, has been named a 2024 Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).  The Fellow designation is awarded to scientists, engineers, and innovators for their lifetime contributions within the scientific community.  Over her five-decade […]

The recent 2025 FAAM Conference received a summary overview, written by Nick Garland of Assure360, highlighting a few of the conference speakers including Dr. Andrey Korchevskiy of C&IH for his presentation, “Risk Assessment: What Have We Learned from Mineralogy, Toxicology, and Epidemiology?”  The article describes the presentation as a thought-provoking moment at the conference, referencing […]

A new research paper by C&IH called “The Empirical Metric of Mesothelial Carcinogenicity for Carbon Nanotubes and Elongate Mineral Particles” was recently published by the journal Inhalation Toxicology. The article presents a comprehensive analysis of how the physical dimensions and biopersistence of elongate mineral particles (EMPs) and high aspect ratio nanomaterials (HARNs), such as carbon […]

The Journal Frontiers in Toxicology published a new study by C&IH titled “Critical values for dimensional parameters of mesotheliomagenic mineral fibers: evidence from the dimensions and rigidity of MWCNT.” The study investigates the relationship between the physical characteristics of mineral fibers and their potential to induce mesothelioma, a type of cancer associated with exposure to […]

A new research paper in Fronters in Public Health titled “The size distribution of nanoparticles emitted from advanced manufacturing devices impacts predicted carcinogenic potential” explores how nanoparticle emissions from modern manufacturing equipment, such as 3D printers, vary in size and how these size differences influence potential health risks. New data for particles size in 3D […]

The journal Archives of Toxicology published a letter to the editor discussing a recent paper released in “Scientific Reports” on the toxic effects of elongate mineral particles.  The letter to the editor, titled “Cleavage fragments and asbestos fibers: better characterization of minerals and improved cell models are needed to elucidate toxicity differences,” highlights the need […]

C&IH would like to recognize Professor Julian Peto, FMedSci, FRS, a renowned epidemiologist with the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, on his 80th birthday. Professor Peto provided significant contributions to the studies of carcinogenicity related to various environmental and occupational health factors. The so called “Peto model” that he developed in the 1980s […]

Industrial hygiene plays a crucial role in ensuring the health and safety of workers by identifying, evaluating, and controlling hazards in the workplace. Part of workplace hazard recognition involves understanding the exposure pathways associated with a hazard. Exposure pathways are the routes through which a worker may come into contact with hazardous substances or conditions. […]

The upcoming Asbestos 2025 Conference will include a lecture by C&IH Director of Research and Development, Dr. Andrey Korchevskiy called, “Risk Assessment: What Have We Learned from Mineralogy, Toxicology, and Epidemiology?”  The annual conference is sponsored by the British Occupational Health Society (BOHS) and its Faculty of Asbestos Assessment and Management (FAAM) and is taking […]
