A substance that can cause the body to react negatively, leading to irritation or inflammation. This reaction is often localized and may include skin redness, itching, or swelling.

A substance that damages the skin, causing irritation or inflammation. This can be caused by direct contact or exposure to the irritant.

A process where a weakened or inactive form of a disease-causing bacteria is introduced into the body to stimulate the immune system's response.

The concentration of a substance inhaled that would kill 50% of a tested population within a set time.

The amount of a substance (oral or dermal) that would kill 50% of a tested population.

The total amount of dust that can enter the nose, mouth, and lungs during breathing. It's a measure of how much dust can be inhaled.

A U-shaped tube filled with mercury or another liquid. Differences in liquid height are used to measure pressure.

Used in control systems, safety interlocks, or counting objects.

Measures a person's exposure to hazardous chemicals, occupational and non-occupational.

Awarded by ABIA.

Accredits industrial hygiene laboratories.

Target organ for radon exposure.

Primary reservoir for lead in the body.

Lung disease caused by exposure to silica and aluminum dust fumes.

Foreign substances that trigger an immune response.

The lowest airflow needed to capture contaminants.

Most efficient type of fan blades.

A device used to control airflow in ducts of varying sizes. They ensure balanced air distribution by adjusting the flow rate.

A method to measure the effectiveness of ventilation systems. It involves assessing the air movement at different locations in a duct system.

A physical reaction to stress that may be caused by environmental factors or perceived threats. This usually includes physical symptoms like headaches, fatigue, or digestive issues.

A state of sensitivity or adverse reaction to very low levels of common chemicals present in the environment.

A dimensionless number used to determine the flow pattern of fluids or air, based on viscosity, velocity, and characteristic length.

A calculation used to determine the partial pressure of a gas component in a mixture based on its concentration and total pressure.

A sampling technique that aims to collect particles at the same velocity as they move within the stream.

An air pollution control device consisting of a large filter that captures particulates less than 0.25 microns. Requires regular cleaning to maintain efficiency.

Industrial gas cleaners used to remove larger particles in air streams. They offer a cost-effective solution but require high energy to operate.

The lowest concentration of a substance that can be reliably measured by a specific analytical method. Determining if the L.O.Q. is met is crucial for ensuring data accuracy and reliability.

A condition that occurs when nerves and blood vessels are compressed between the clavicle (collarbone) and the first & second ribs. It can cause pain, numbness, and tingling in the arm and hand.

The amount of air that is exchanged in a room or space over a specific period of time. It's used to calculate the concentration of contaminants in the air.

A device used to measure the accumulated radiation dose received by a wearer. It's often used with a film badge to provide comprehensive radiation monitoring.

The lowest concentration of a substance in air that can cause a fire or explosion. It's an important parameter for safety in environments where flammable materials are present.

The science and practice of identifying, evaluating, and controlling workplace hazards to prevent worker injuries and illnesses.

A process for reducing or eliminating radiation exposure by placing a barrier between the source and the worker.

A type of safety program that focuses on identifying and changing behaviors that contribute to workplace safety.

A sample taken from a known volume of air at a specific point in time, used to determine contaminant levels.

The collection of air samples while a worker performs their normal tasks, used to assess personal exposure levels.

A method of sampling using a stationary device to measure air quality in a specific area.

Combining multiple air samples to estimate an employee's average exposure over an 8-hour period.

A laboratory accredited by AIHA is highly recommended for analyzing air samples.

The process of calibrating sampling equipment before and after taking samples, using a primary or secondary standard.

A type of ventilation that uses high volume and low-pressure air to remove contaminants.
