SUMMARY Industrial hygienists are tasked with protecting worker health. However, there are many hazardous substances which lack official guidelines related to their safe management. Thus, there is a need for professionals charged with protecting worker health to be able to increase their knowledge regarding these emerging contaminants, emerging technologies, and systems to protect worker health. This project was designed to address this need. The Distance Education and Training on Emerging Contaminants and Technologies (DETECT) project will implement online training modules and in-person research experiences to provide unique educational opportunities for education on emerging contaminants and technologies for prospective graduate students, graduate students, and industrial hygienists. The DETECT program will establish a consortium between established programs in industrial hygiene at Purdue University, the University of Toledo, the Air Force Institute of Technology, and the University of South Florida. The DETECT program will focus on identifying and characterizing emerging contaminants, use of emerging technologies to assess and monitor hazardous chemicals, and safety management systems or strategies to mitigate and prevent potential hazards. Emerging contaminants to be discussed include, but are not limited to nanoparticles, bioaerosols, hazardous algal blooms, and ototoxic compounds. There will be three main educational components of the DETECT program: online educational modules, summer research sessions, and online laboratories. First, we will create a series of for- credit and non-credit online lessons; these will be grouped together in three modules. The for-credit version of this online educational content will be incorporated into existing industrial hygiene graduate programs at the DETECT consortium institutions. The non-credit version will be available free of charge for anyone to access via the Purdue Online website. Second, we will develop and run four in-person summer research sessions. Each year, these will be hosted by a different DETECT consortium intuition and will feature a different topic. Prospective graduate students and graduate students from the DETECT consortium institutions and beyond will be encouraged to participate. These intensive sessions will include research training, laboratory tours, and the opportunity for participants to complete, analyze, and present a short research project. Third, we will develop five online laboratories and at least one virtual reality laboratory. The online laboratories will be accessible using an internet browser, and will be incorporated into the online educational modules. The virtual reality laboratory will be completed in-person by graduate students at the DETECT consortium institutions. Upon completion of this project, we will have developed and implemented training in key emerging contaminants and technologies to assess, mitigate, and prevent their impact via platforms that are accessible to a large, diverse population. This will have a significant impact on industrial hygienists and other professionals’ ability to protect workers and the public from health effects resulting from exposure to hazardous substances.

概括 工业卫生员的任务是保护工人的健康，然而，存在许多有害物质。 缺乏与其安全管理相关的官方指南，因此需要专业人员负责。 保护工人健康，增加他们对这些新兴污染物的了解， 该项目旨在满足这一需求。 关于新兴污染物和技术的远程教育和培训（DETECT）项目将 实施在线培训模块和亲自研究经验，以提供独特的教育 为未来的研究生提供有关新兴污染物和技术的教育机会， DETECT 计划将在研究生和工业卫生学家之间建立一个联盟。 在普渡大学、托莱多大学、空军学院设立工业卫生项目 技术学院和南佛罗里达大学的 DETECT 计划将侧重于识别和识别。 描述新兴污染物的特征，使用新兴技术评估和监测危险 化学品以及减轻和预防潜在危险的安全管理系统或策略。 要讨论的污染物包括但不限于纳米颗粒、生物气溶胶、有害藻华、 DETECT 计划将包含三个主要教育部分： 在线。 首先，我们将创建一系列教育模块、夏季研究课程和在线实验室。 学分和非学分在线课程；这些课程将分为三个模块。 该在线教育内容将被纳入现有的卫生工业研究生课程 DETECT 联盟机构将免费提供非信用版本，供任何人通过以下方式访问。 其次，我们将开发并举办四场面对面的夏季研究课程。 今年，这些活动将由不同的 DETECT 联盟直觉主办，并将以不同的主题为特色。 来自 DETECT 联盟机构及其他机构的未来研究生和研究生将 鼓励参加这些密集课程将包括研究培训、实验室参观和 让参与者有机会完成、分析和展示一个简短的研究项目。第三，我们将开发。 五个在线实验室和至少一个虚拟现实实验室将可通过使用访问。 一个互联网浏览器，并将被纳入在线教育模块中。 将由 DETECT 联盟机构的研究生亲自完成。 在这个项目中，我们将制定并实施关键新兴污染物和技术的培训 通过可供大量不同人群访问的平台来评估、减轻和防止其影响。 将对工业卫生学家和其他专业人员保护工人和环境的能力产生重大影响 公众免受因接触有害物质而造成的健康影响。
