Core Faculty Members
The core of the University of Iowa Industrial Hygiene
program consists of four faculty members. These faculty are recognized
nationally for their research on bioaerosols, organic aerosols,
crystalline silica, toxic metals, pesticides, radon, exposure assessment,
control technology, toxicology, hazard control, and risk assessment.
Many other OEH Department faculty members
serve as advisors and mentors to industrial hygiene students. Our
faculty are also actively involved in professional
outreach.
