The forums will discuss the latest trends and issues that may impact the industrial hygiene and occupational and environmental health and safety profession.
The first online seminar in the series, "Nanotechnology," will be held from 2 to 3 p.m. (EST) on April 20. The forum will define nanotechnology and discuss its impact on the occupational and environmental health and safety profession. It also will provide an overview of standards and guidelines that are being developed and current AIHA involvement and activities related to nanotechnology.

Non-members registered prior to April 6 will pay a fee of $75. After the early registration deadline, tuition will be $75 for members and $100 for non-members.
Every site registered will receive materials prepared by the course presenter, which may be duplicated for each participant. Participants need Internet access and a telephone, or just a phone, to be part of this live, online forum.
