Occupational Hygiene (Chemistry)
Occupational hygiene is the discipline dealing with the identification, assessment and control of environmental factors of chemical, physical and biological nature stemming from industrial activities, inside and outside the workplace (to prevent and possibly remedy all situations). These factors may in fact affect workers and people’s health and welfare. As for chemical pollutants, Mérieux NutriSciences samples and analyzes the pollutants that can be typically detectable at the workplace. Measurements of smell concentration (a strongly recommended analysis in cases of undue release of smell) and environmental controls through portable tools (of any situation of pollution as a result of remediation, fire, etc.) are also carried out:
