Laboratory of Industrial Hygiene

(Head: Prof. Andrea Magrini)

The evaluation of professional exposure resulting from a set of scientific, medical and technical knowledge and data is essential to most of the activities of the Department of Occupational Medicine, for the purpose of the correct assessment of risk.
It is in this field that the Laboratory for Industrial Hygiene makes a significant contribution with its field investigations: measurements, analysis and processing of collected data.

Sampling and dosage of powders, fibers, chemical and biological agents
Analysis in Phase-contrast microscopy (MOCF), Diffractometry (DRX) and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for asbestos and quartz
Risk assessments of physical agents (noise, vibration, microclimate, lighting, electromagnetic fields)
Ergonomic measurements
Environmental acoustics
Training courses
Preventive advice and guidance

Accreditations:

Proficiency Testing for laboratories performing crystalline silica analysis using DRX: the performance category achieved was satisfactory
Quality control of laboratories performing quantitative determination of asbestos fibers: satisfactory results with respect to MOCF, DRX and SEM methods
