Dr. Mark D. Hoover is a senior scientist in the Division of Respiratory Disease Studies of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, in Morgantown, West Virginia. He is also coordinator of the NIOSH Exposure Assessment Program Portfolio. NIOSH is the leading U.S. federal agency conducting research and providing guidance on the occupational safety and health implications and applications of nanotechnology. Mark has a BS degree in mathematics and English from Carnegie Mellon University and MS and PhD degrees in engineering from the University of New Mexico. He is also board certified in the comprehensive practice of health physics and in the comprehensive practice of industrial hygiene. Mark has developed improved approaches, techniques, and instrumentation for aerosol characterization, generation, and control; served as chairman or a contributor to the development of many national and international standards; and is author or co-author of more than 150 open literature publications. Special emphasis areas for his work in nanotechnology include exposure assessment for nanoparticles in the workplace, development of a prototype Nanoparticle Information Library, and opportunities for applying performance-based occupational exposure limits or control banding approaches for nanotechnology. Detailed information about the NIOSH nanotechnology health and safety research program is available at www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/nanotech/.
