Mage, D. AND L. Wallace. PROCEEDINGS OF THE SYMPOSIUM ON THE DEVELOPMENT AND USAGE OF PERSONAL MONITORS FOR EXPOSURE AND HEALTH EFFECT STUDIES HELD AT CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA ON JANUARY 22-24, 1979. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/9-79/032 (NTIS PB80143894), 1979.
Description:
The work reported herein represents the content of a Symposium to present the state-of-the-art in personal monitor developments for measurement of pollution exposures and physiological responses to pollution exposures. This report contains edited transcripts of the discussion following each paper, the transcript of an informal general discussion period and the transcript of a closing panel discussion. The breakthroughs in miniaturization of data processing and control modules through usage of digital microcircuitry has allowed a new generation of pocket sized personal monitors to be developed for both pollution variables and physiological measures. The Symposium addresses the conduct of epidemiological and exposure assessment studies which incorporate these monitors into the design.
