Meritorious Achievement
Award
2010 Awardee
The Meritorious Achievement Award is given to members of ACGIH® who have made outstanding, long-term contributions to the field of occupational health and industrial hygiene. The recipient of this year's Meritorious Achievement Award is Patricia Stewart, PhD, CIH.
Dr. Stewart received her BA degree in biology in 1972 from Boston University, her MS degree in industrial hygiene from the University of Cincinnati in 1974 and her PhD in industrial hygiene from Johns Hopkins University in 1994.
Dr. Stewart worked as an OSHA compliance officer from 19741977 and then moved to OSHA's National office. In 1982 she went to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) where she remained until she retired in 2006. She still works under contract with the NCI to complete several studies still in progress.
At NCI, Dr. Stewart supported occupational epidemiology studies by assessing past exposures. She has assessed a wide variety of exposures, including formaldehyde, acrylonitrile, solvents, and diesel exhaust in more than 10 cohort studies and lead, pesticides, metal working fluids and solvents in more than 25 case-control studies. Her research includes developing methods to improve exposure assessment methods in epidemiologic studies.
Dr. Stewart has been a member of ACGIH® since 1974 and served on the Board of Directors as a Member-at-Large from 19851987. Dr. Stewart has served on the organizing committee of several exposure assessment conferences and on various governmental and international committees including the International Agency for Research on Cancer. She has served as a reviewer for numerous occupational health journals, has over 160 publications, and has mentored 14 PhD students and postdoctoral fellows.
Dr. Stewart's dedication and service to the occupational health and industrial hygiene profession, and her commitment to ACGIH®'s mission render her a worthy recipient of the Meritorious Achievement Award. The Meritorious Achievement Award will be presented at the ACGIH® Membership Reception and Annual Meeting of the Membership on Sunday, May 23, 2010.
