Connor Krause (1st year): “Nanoparticle Emissions during SLS 3-D Printing.”
Three graduate students participated in the Student Poster Presentations exhibit.
Thomas Mackey (2nd year): “Industrial Hygiene Aspects of Swimming Pool Service Workers.”
Dorothy Nguyen (2nd year): “Review of epidemiological studies of pesticide applicator habits & health outcomes: Effects of PPE on self-reported acute pesticide poisoning symptoms.”
