SUMMARY Industrial hygienists are tasked with protecting worker health. However, there are many hazardous substances which lack official guidelines related to their safe management. Thus, there is a need for professionals charged with protecting worker health to be able to increase their knowledge regarding these emerging contaminants, emerging technologies, and systems to protect worker health. This project was designed to address this need. The Distance Education and Training on Emerging Contaminants and Technologies (DETECT) project will implement online training modules and in-person research experiences to provide unique educational opportunities for education on emerging contaminants and technologies for prospective graduate students, graduate students, and industrial hygienists. The DETECT program will establish a consortium between established programs in industrial hygiene at Purdue University, the University of Toledo, the Air Force Institute of Technology, and the University of South Florida. The DETECT program will focus on identifying and characterizing emerging contaminants, use of emerging technologies to assess and monitor hazardous chemicals, and safety management systems or strategies to mitigate and prevent potential hazards. Emerging contaminants to be discussed include, but are not limited to nanoparticles, bioaerosols, hazardous algal blooms, and ototoxic compounds. There will be three main educational components of the DETECT program: online educational modules, summer research sessions, and online laboratories. First, we will create a series of for- credit and non-credit online lessons; these will be grouped together in three modules. The for-credit version of this online educational content will be incorporated into existing industrial hygiene graduate programs at the DETECT consortium institutions. The non-credit version will be available free of charge for anyone to access via the Purdue Online website. Second, we will develop and run four in-person summer research sessions. Each year, these will be hosted by a different DETECT consortium intuition and will feature a different topic. Prospective graduate students and graduate students from the DETECT consortium institutions and beyond will be encouraged to participate. These intensive sessions will include research training, laboratory tours, and the opportunity for participants to complete, analyze, and present a short research project. Third, we will develop five online laboratories and at least one virtual reality laboratory. The online laboratories will be accessible using an internet browser, and will be incorporated into the online educational modules. The virtual reality laboratory will be completed in-person by graduate students at the DETECT consortium institutions. Upon completion of this project, we will have developed and implemented training in key emerging contaminants and technologies to assess, mitigate, and prevent their impact via platforms that are accessible to a large, diverse population. This will have a significant impact on industrial hygienists and other professionals’ ability to protect workers and the public from health effects resulting from exposure to hazardous substances.

总结 工业卫生学家的任务是保护工人的健康。然而，有许多有害物质 缺乏与安全管理相关的官方指导方针。因此，需要专业人员负责 为了保护工人的健康，能够增加他们对这些新出现的污染物的知识， 新兴技术和保护工人健康的系统。该项目旨在满足这一需求。 关于新出现的污染物和技术的远程教育和培训项目将 实施在线培训模块和面对面的研究经验，以提供独特的教育 为未来的研究生提供关于新兴污染物和技术的教育机会， 研究生和工业企业家。DETECT计划将建立一个联盟， 在普渡大学、托莱多大学、空军学院建立了工业卫生项目 南佛罗里达大学。DETECT计划将侧重于识别和 描述新出现的污染物，使用新出现的技术评估和监测有害物质 化学品和安全管理系统或战略，以减轻和防止潜在的危险。新兴 要讨论的污染物包括但不限于纳米颗粒，生物气溶胶，危险的藻华， 和耳毒性化合物。DETECT计划将有三个主要的教育组成部分：在线 教育模块，夏季研究课程和在线实验室。首先，我们将创建一系列的- 学分和非学分在线课程;这些将被分为三个模块。信用版本的 这一在线教育内容将被纳入现有的工业卫生研究生课程， DETECT财团机构。非信用版本将免费提供给任何人访问通过 Purdue在线网站第二，我们将开发和运行四个亲自夏季研究会议。每个 今年，这些将由一个不同的探测联盟直觉主办，并将以不同的主题为特色。 未来的研究生和研究生从检测联盟机构和超越将 鼓励参与。这些强化课程将包括研究培训、实验室参观图尔斯和 参与者有机会完成，分析和提出一个简短的研究项目。第三，我们将发展 五个在线实验室和至少一个虚拟现实实验室。在线实验室将通过 互联网浏览器，并将纳入在线教育模块。虚拟现实实验室 将由DETECT联盟机构的研究生亲自完成。完成后 在这个项目中，我们将开发和实施关键新兴污染物和技术的培训， 评估，减轻和防止他们的影响，通过平台，可以访问一个大的，不同的人群。这 将对工业企业家和其他专业人员保护工人的能力产生重大影响， 公众因接触有害物质而受到的健康影响。
