The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) recently published a second edition of “Bioaerosols: Assessment and Control Revised.”  Authored by the ACGIH Bioaerosols Committee, the revised publication serves as a comprehensive guide in the assessment and control of bioaerosols in the workplace and includes contributions from scientists with public, academic, and professional backgrounds.  C&IH […]

The Environmental Research Journal published a paper titled, “Excitable Systems: A New Perspective on the Cellular Impact of Elongate Mineral Particles” which included contributions from C&IH Director of Research and Development, Dr. Andrey Korchevskiy.  The paper investigates how the geometry of elongate mineral particles (EMPs) in contact with cells influences esotaxis, a recently discovered mechanism […]

Included in the January 2023 edition of The Synergist, published by the AIHA, is an article by C&IH Director of Research and Development, Dr. Andrey Korchevskiy titled: “The Safety Threshold: Understanding Risk Tolerances.” The article explores how the perceived acceptability of a hazard drives risk tolerance and determines “safety thresholds” among individuals and groups. Risk […]
