PROJECT SUMMARY To ensure that emerging technologies grow without causing illness or injury to workers and the public, a professional workforce must be prepared with the ability to anticipate, recognize, evaluate, and control exposures to hazardous materials in emerging technology workplaces. Therefore, the University of Minnesota, the University of Iowa, and Dakota County Technical College have formed the Midwest Emerging Technologies Public Health and Safety Training (METPHAST) Program. The objective of the METPHAST Program for this funding period is to develop a comprehensive web-based curriculum on occupational hygiene, with emphasis on applications to worker health and safety in emerging technologies. To accomplish this objective, we will develop four online cores for education and training in chemical hazard recognition, detection technologies, exposure assessment strategies, and risk management. In the cores, we will demonstrate concepts with examples and illustrations drawn from the following emerging technologies: green chemistry, sustainable remediation, electronic products and waste, and nanotechnology. Each core in the curriculum will be comprised of 10-15 web-based modules; each module, in turn, will include a carefully-constructed set of short narrated screencasts, animations, exercises, and activities. Instructors will use the curriculum to create academic and continuing education courses that develop the skills of industrial hygiene students; students in other health, science, engineering, and technology disciplines; and professionals who require continuing education on the health and safety of emerging technologies. The program is innovative because it provides flexible, online education materials that instructors can first use to train themselves, and then to train others, on topics that fit the needs of their organizations. All materials will be freely available on the web, ensuring that the METPHAST Program has a regional, national, and global reach.

项目摘要 为了确保新兴技术的发展不会对工人和公众造成疾病或伤害， 专业人员必须具备预测、识别、评估和控制的能力 在新兴技术工作场所接触危险材料。因此，明尼苏达大学， 爱荷华州大学和达科他县技术学院组成了中西部新兴 技术公共卫生和安全培训（METPHAST）计划。METPHAST的目标 本资助期内的计划是开发一个全面的职业卫生网络课程， 重点是新兴技术在工人健康和安全方面的应用。为了实现这一 目标，我们将开发四个在线核心，用于化学品危害识别、检测 技术、接触评估战略和风险管理。在核心中，我们将展示 从下列新兴技术中提取的概念和实例和说明：绿色化学， 可持续补救、电子产品和废物以及纳米技术。课程中的每个核心都将 由10-15个基于网络的模块组成;每个模块又将包括一组精心构建的 简短的叙述屏幕播放，动画，练习和活动。教师将使用课程来创建 发展工业卫生专业学生技能的学术和继续教育课程; 其他健康，科学，工程和技术学科;以及需要继续学习的专业人员 关于新兴技术的健康和安全的教育。该计划是创新的，因为它提供了 灵活的在线教育材料，教师可以首先使用这些材料培训自己，然后再培训其他人， 适合其组织需求的主题。所有材料都将在网上免费提供，以确保 METPHAST计划具有区域，国家和全球影响力。
