  1. IH Monitoring/User Experiment ReviewsSurvey of Practices • Qualitative Exposure Assessments (QEAs) • Most Labs completing or have completed their baseline assessments • Used as a programmatic basis for determining on-going QEAs • LANL’s is particularly well documented • Reviews of User Experiments typically incorporate QEA process. Recommend that User Facilities incorporate this explicitly into their documentation.

  2. IH Monitoring/User Experiment ReviewsSurvey of Practices • Quantitative Exposure Assessments • Practices appear to be similar across the labs • OSHA Category I (Pb, asbestos, benzene) more • Routine research; user work less • Data management is troublesome. Despite some large/complex databases, paper records are still relied upon • Some labs are asking if they’ve got the right mix of quantitative vs. qualitative • may have peer reviews.

  3. IH Monitoring/User Experiment ReviewsSurvey of Practices • Nano • Very difficult issue. NIOSH being watched closely for guidance. • Trend towards HEPA-filtered containment to minimize problems associated with monitoring requirements. • Similar handling practices for suspensions • Allowance for handling outside of containment
