Draft – Application of Biological Monitoring Methods for Chemical Exposures in Occupational Health

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced the availability of a draft chapter to be published in the NIOSH Manual of Analytical Methods (NMAM) entitled “Application of Biological Monitoring Methods for Chemical Exposures in Occupational Health” for public comment. The comment period ended on December 15, 2017.

The NIOSH Manual of Analytical Methods (NMAM) was first published in 1974. Currently in its Fifth Edition, the NMAM contains over 60 methods and 11 chapters that can be utilized by the occupational safety and health community to measure worker exposures. NIOSH researchers have written an updated chapter covering the application and validation of biological monitoring methods for chemical exposures in occupational health and safety to be included in NMAM.
