AB  - Within  the  scope  of  public  health  practice,  industrial  hygiene  is  the  health  profession  devoted  to  the  recognition,  evaluation,  and  control  of  hazards  in  the  working  environment.  These  include  chemical  hazards,  physical  hazards,  biological  hazards,  and  ergonomic  factors  that  cause  or  contribute  to  injury,  disease,  impaired  function,  or  discomfort.  Throughout  the  world,  the  profession  that  addresses  these  hazards  is  known  as  occupational  hygiene;  however,  the  United  States  has  not  yet  adopted  this  newer,  more  accurate  term.  In  this  chapter,  the  term  industrial  hygiene  is  used  as  the  equivalent  of  occupational  hygiene.
