Meritorious Achievement Award

2007 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 Lisa M. Brosseau, ScD, CIH.

Dr. Brosseau earned her ScD in Environmental Health Sciences/Industrial Hygiene at Harvard University. She is currently an Associate Professor at the University of Minnesota School of Public Health in the Environmental Health Sciences Division. Dr. Brosseau joined ACGIH® in 1985 and has since worked diligently to advance the organization and the profession. She was a member of the ACGIH® Threshold Limit Values for Chemical Substances (TLV®-CS) Committee from 1995 through 2006 and served as Chair from 1998 through 2004. She serves on the editorial review board of the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, is a peer reviewer for numerous other occupational health and safety journals and has participated on IOM and NAS committees in the areas of respiratory and personal protection. Dr. Brosseau received the AIHA Alice Hamilton Award in 2006.

Dr. Brosseau has published extensively on performance of respiratory protection devices, aerosol measurement, filtration, and health and safety interventions in small businesses.

Leader, educator, and mentor, Dr. Brosseau's dedication and service to the occupational health and industrial hygiene profession, and her commitment to ACGIH®'s mission render her well qualified for the Meritorious Achievement Award. The Meritorious Achievement Award will be presented at the ACGIH® Membership Reception and Annual Meeting of the Membership on Sunday, June 3, 2007.
