Basic industrial hygiene principles involving recognition, evaluation, and control are addressed for proper site IAQ investigations for general and/or specific chemical substances, particulates, and use of direct-reading instruments for an outlined project sampling strategy related to representative sample collection in addition to microbial agents (i.e. culturable versus non-culturable methods) with laboratory analysis including subsequent data interpretation provided by a Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH). Assessment results are summarized and report documents prepared to record existing potential occupational exposures with recommendations provided to assist with resolution and/or additional areas of investigation potentially involving microbial remediation and testing.
