Workplace Exposure Assessments


3M Formaldehyde Passive Air Monitoring Badges

The Workplace Exposure Assessment Program is established at UCR in order to evaluate potential personal exposures to hazardous substances. The program consists of a variety of activities implemented to evaluate a person’s exposure including observation of job routine, evaluation of work place control measures and environmental sampling. Several types of sampling are performed by Enironment, Health and Safety (EH&S) depending on the nature of the chemical hazard, the frequency of chemical use and the way the chemical is handled.

Chemical exposure monitoring is often initiated by EH&S and can also be provided upon request. Some of the typical chemicals, which are monitored at UCR, include:

  • Asbestos
  • Lead particulate (Lead Based Paint)
  • Formaldehyde
  • Hazardous laboratory chemicals
  • Solvent based materials and cleaning products
  • Chemical carcinogens or extremely toxic substances
