Project 1 - Conducted personal exposure (airborne) monitoring for metal dust and cutting lubricant to evaluate airborne concentrations of material generated from the cutting of specialized metals in the production of magnets for industrial purposes.  The substances sampled for were Cobalt, Iron Oxide, and Triethanolamine.  A written report to discus the findings was also prepared and presented.  The report discussed the fact that the results showed a non-detectable to minimal presence of substances sampled.  Although the results showed little exposure there were several observations noted to increase the overall safety of the job sequence. 

Project 2 - Conducted personal and airborne exposure monitoring for Chlordane, 4,4'-DDT and the Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) constituents of Naphthalene, Chrysene, Benzo-b-fluoroanthene and Benzo-a-Pyrene.  The purpose was to evaluate the inhalation exposure of these chemicals to personnel while manually digging and moving dirt during a utility trenching project, along with potential exposure to nearby construction personnel and pedestrians.  The sampling results suggested that respiratory protection was not required for this particular task because it proved that the concentrations of compounds sampled for was below the allowed exposure limits.

Project 3 - Conducted personal exposure monitoring for respirable dust, total dust, lead, crystalline silica for quartz, and lead dust while doing construction with concrete walls.  All samples collected and tested proved that the exposure was well below any limits.  There was a noticeable amount of dust in the air, and personnel were instructed to wear half face respirators to filter out the dust.
