NMAM is a collection of methods for sampling and analysis of contaminants in workplace air, surfaces, and in the blood and urine of workers who are occupationally exposed. These methods have been developed or adapted by NIOSH or its partners and have been evaluated according to established experimental protocols and performance criteria.
OSHA Index of Sampling and Analytical Methods
This website contains a searchable and browsable index to the analytical sampling methods used by field hygienists of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
