The Industrial Hygienist: The primary duty of an Industrial Hygienist is to ensure that concentrations of environmental contaminants in the air are at the lowest and safest levels possible.  This is accomplished through implementing preventive measures in hazardous areas and by providing air monitoring to confirm that the levels meet both government and institutional regulations.
