• Personal Author:

• Description:
  The NIOSH Manual of Analytical Methods (NMAM) is a collection of methods for sampling and analysis of contaminants in workplace air (or surfaces) and in the blood and urine of workers who are occupationally exposed. NIOSH methods are used worldwide for occupational exposure assessment. They have been developed or adapted by NIOSH and/or its partners and have been evaluated according to established protocols and performance criteria. NMAM also includes chapters on quality assurance, sampling guidance, instrumentation, aerosol measurement, gas and vapor monitoring, portable monitoring devices, and so forth. Often NIOSH methods are developed in coordination with voluntary consensus standards organizations. Efforts to harmonize NIOSH methods with relevant consensus standards procedures are highlighted. NIOSH also has a formal Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Institute for Occupational Safety and Health of the German Social Accident Insurance (lFA), whereby both are adopting selected methods. An overview of recent research and technology transfer activities relating to NMAM methods is provided. Included are newly approved methods and those under development, as well as needs for new methods and updates. Of particular interest are recent NIOSH recommendations on air samplers used for sampling and analysis of airborne particles [Description provided by NIOSH]
