INDOOR AIR QUALITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING: MY INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCE AS AN AIR MONITOR FOR NOVA ENVIRONMENTAL, INC.

Hamilton, Julia, Hamilton

Abstract Details

2018, Master of Environmental Science, Miami University, Environmental Sciences.
This report summarizes my duties as an Environmental Consultant at Nova Environmental, Inc. in Ann Arbor, Michigan. My main responsibilities included monitoring the air quality on construction sites where asbestos removal was taking place. If airborne, asbestos fibers can be very dangerous to human health and are known to be linked to lung diseases and cancers. Due to this, asbestos containing materials need to be removed from buildings before construction or renovations occur. Several steps need to be taken to ensure that asbestos is removed safely at a job site. When on a construction site, there are several laws and regulations in place regarding asbestos removal as well as worker safety. This internship experience and my time at the Master of Environmental Science program through the Institute for the Environment and Sustainability at Miami University are described in the report.
