The development of new technologies for detection of environmental contaminants have increased considerably in the last 15 years. The technology in the form of new sensors, smartphone applications, and wearables devices are widely available for researchers as well as consumers interested in obtaining environmental data. For industrial hygienists, the availability of new sensors allows for the collection of greater spatial and temporally resolved data which improves anticipation, recognition, measurement, and control of workplace exposures. This proposal builds on a long-standing collaboration between the City University of New York School of Public Health (CUNY SPH) and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in the NIOSH New York/New Jersey Educational Research Center while adding new collaborations with CUNY’s Queens College and the CUNY Advanced Science Research Center. The overall goal of this proposed training program is to add significant new training and research opportunities for industrial hygiene students at the CUNY SPH in the hands-on use of sensor technology and laboratory. Students will be trained to recognize and utilize state of the art new technologies that can be used to quantify contaminants in the workplace such as total volatile organic compounds, particulate matter, heat exposure, noise and ultraviolet radiation. This proposal will expand upon the existing NIOSH funded industrial hygiene program to: 1) revise existing industrial hygiene curriculum to include training in laboratory practices and sensor technologies, 2) fund student research projects in the evaluation and applicability low-cost sensors to quantify workers’ exposure, 3) develop an outreach and training program in industrial hygiene for Spanish speaking occupational health and safety trainers who train construction and other low wage Latinx immigrant workers. We will provide five graduate assistantships per year for students to work with faculty mentors in the research areas of sensor technologies or worker outreach programs. In addition, approximately 35 students in the Department of Environmental, Occupational, and Geospatial Health Sciences at the CUNY SPH will enroll in updated laboratory and didactic courses. The program will also provide training to enhance the skills of a group of 40 trainers associated with Latinx community-based organization in the New York/New Jersey region who provide training in occupational safety and health in Spanish to low wage workers. By integrating graduate training programs for industrial hygiene students with community-based training for occupational safety and health trainers serving for low wage Latinx workers, this program will promote a commitment to community engagement and service among our industrial hygiene trainees assisted by the enhanced use of low-cost sensor technologies to identify, measure and control workplace exposures.

开发用于检测环境污染物的新技术已谨慎地增加 在过去的15年中。新传感器，智能手机应用程序和可穿戴设备的形式的技术 对于研究人员以及有兴趣获得环境数据的消费者，广泛使用。为了 工业卫生学家，新传感器的可用性允许收集更大的空间和临时 解决的数据可以改善工作场所暴露的预期，识别，测量和控制。这 提案建立在纽约市公共卫生学院之间的长期合作基础上 （CUNY SPH）和纽约NIOSH山/新泽西州西奈山的伊坎医学院/新泽西州教育 研究中心在与CUNY皇后学院和CUNY Advanced添加新合作的同时 科学研究中心。该建议的培训计划的总体目标是增加重大的新培训 以及CUNY SPH的工业卫生学生的研究机会 技术和实验室。学生将接受培训以识别并利用最先进的新技术 可用于量化工作场所中的污染物，例如总挥发性有机化合物，特别是 物质，热暴露，噪声和紫外线辐射。该提案将扩展到现有的NIOSH资助 工业卫生计划至：1）修改现有的工业卫生课程以包括实验室的培训 实践和传感器技术，2）在评估和适用性低成本中资助学生研究项目 传感器以量化工人的暴露，3）在工业卫生中制定外展和培训计划 培训建筑和其他低工资拉丁裔的西班牙语职业健康和安全教练 移民工人。我们每年将为学生提供五个研究生助手，以与教师导师合作 在传感器技术或工人外展计划的研究领域。另外，大约35 CUNY SPH的环境，职业和地理空间健康科学系的学生 将参加更新的实验室和教学课程。该计划还将提供培训以提高技能 在纽约/新泽西州与Latinx社区组织相关的40个培训师的小组 在西班牙至低工资工人中提供占领安全和健康培训的地区。通过集成 针对工业卫生专业学生的研究生培训课程，接受社区安全培训 和为低工资拉丁裔工人服务的健康教练，该计划将促进对社区的承诺 通过增强低成本传感器的使用，我们的工业卫生学员之间的参与和服务协助 识别，测量和控制工作场所暴露的技术。
