Interactive Faculty/Student Industrial Hygiene Research
 The Industrial Hygiene Training Program is housed in the Institute for Rural and Environmental Health (IREH) on the University of Iowa’s Oakdale Research Campus (map). The IREH is a nationally recognized research center in occupational and environmental health. The facilities and research environment at IREH provide Industrial Hygiene trainees with access to excellent equipment and outstanding researchers.
- Offices and labs of students and faculty are in IREH. This proximity enhances collaboration and interaction among the industrial hygiene faculty, staff, and students.
- Labs in IREH offer state-of-the-art research opportunities. A wide array of industrial hygiene equipment is available to students, including video-exposure monitoring equipment, direct-reading gas and particle monitoring equipment, sampling pumps, noise dosimeters, and supplies.
- The University of Iowa Hygienic Laboratory (UHL) is a short walk from IREH. UHL staff help students perform chemical analysis of samples and serve as committee members.
- Information technology resources at the IREH are extensive and include a state-of-the-art computing network with full-time technical support staff.
- An Information
Resource Center (IRC), located in 163 IREH,
is staffed by an information specialist (Julia Venzke, MA in Library
and Information Science, UI 1997). The IRC maintains a collection
of major OEH-related journals and texts, as well as many of our
student theses. Ms. Venzke also assists students and faculty with
literature reviews, interlibrary loans, and database searches.
