Industrial hygiene and national health objectives for the year 2000.
Industrial hygiene can have a powerful effect on family, community, and environmental health in addition to its effect on occupational health. Contemporary industrial hygiene begins in the workplace, but its impact can spread and improve the health status of the nation in several ways. Thirteen objectives for industrial hygiene are presented in this report. Industrial hygienists should know what the objectives are, how the objectives are useful to their practice, and how they can help to achieve them to improve the health of Americans.
