Professional Conference on Industrial Hygiene set for Nov. 5-9
PCIH is one of the Academy of Industrial Hygiene’s most important activities, according to a report in the latest Academy newsletter. Last October, PCIH 2010: Big Ideas, Big Solutions was held in Fort Worth, Texas, in partnership with AIHA’s North Texas and Texas Hill Country Local Sections. Program Chair Gayla McCluskey and President Donna Doganiero organized a well-attended and successful conference that included a mix of PDCs, breakfast and lunch discussions, networking breakfast and coffees, general sessions, forums, workshops, technical tours and a very good Expo.
One of the highlights of the conference was the Henry F. Smyth, Jr. Award Lecture by Dennis Paustenbach on the global evolution of occupational exposure limits, toxic litigation and their impact on the future of industrial hygiene.
