NMAM is the result of part of the research activities of NIOSH relating to the determination of workplace contaminants. NMAM is a collection of methods for sampling and analysis of contaminants in workplace air, and in the blood and urine of workers who are occupationally exposed. These methods have been developed specifically to have adequate sensitivity to detect the lowest concentrations as regulated by OSHA and recommended by NIOSH, and sufficient range to measure concentrations exceeding safe levels of exposure.
The methods have been developed or adapted by NIOSH or its contractors and have been evaluated according to established experimental protocol and evaluation criteria. NMAM also includes chapters on quality assurance, strategies of sampling airborne substances, method development and discussions of some portable direct-reading instrumentation. Subscribers to the vendors listed below receive updates to NMAM automatically.
NIOSH Analytical Methods can be viewed in Adobe Acrobat (R) format, and are also available in hard copy or diskette.
