The National Methods And Data Comparability Board

NEMI is a searchable clearinghouse of environmental monitoring methods and contains summaries of lab and field protocols for regulatory and non-regulatory water quality analysis. Its purpose is to provide a mechanism to compare and contrast the performance and relative cost of analytical and field methods for environmental monitoring.

Featuring the improved format used in the 5th edition, this updated set presents, in logical groupings, comprehensive toxicological data for industrial compounds, including CAS numbers, physical and chemical properties, exposure limits, and biological tolerance values for occupational exposures, making it essential for toxicologists and industrial hygienists. This edition has about 40% new authors who have brought a new and international perspective to interpreting industrial toxicology, and discusses new subjects such as nanotechnology, flavorings and the food industry, reactive chemical control to comprehensive chemical policy, metalworking fluids, and pharmaceuticals.

The Ten-Year Comprehensive Plan for Nutrition Monitoring and Related Research is designed to establish a comprehensive national nutrition monitoring and related research program. This report reflects the work of the Survey Comparability Working Group of the Interagency Board for Nutrition Monitoring and Related Research. The Working Group collected and examined detailed background information on commonly used population descriptors included in the surveys of the National Nutrition Monitoring and Related Research Program. This report includes surveys that collect data on population descriptors, and nutrition and related health variables or knowledge, attitudes, and behavior assessments.

Provides guidelines for developing a water quality monitoring program specific to the distribution system of a water utility. The report identifies monitoring objectives, addresses common program design issues, and develops protocols for monitoring programs. Topics include nitrification, booster chl

Accompanying DVD contains 2 segments: the first shows the developmental process into making the report, the second shows a summary of the findings and recommendations of the report.
