BHE Summer Student Conducts Award-Winning Energy Sustainability Study
Purdue Senior and BHE'er Matt Bruck has seen the future of energy and is helping to predict it.
Matt and his engineering classmates posited that future in a poster project for a multidisciplinary class entitled "Engineering Environmental Sustainability."
The students, from all fields of engineering study and other fields as well, looked at energy from every angle and economic sector.

BHE Environmental, Inc. Proud to Sponser the 22nd Annual Ohio Valley SETAC Meeting
BHE Environmental recently hosted the annual meeting of the Ohio Valley Chapter of the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC). The event featured a potluck dinner and silent auction. BHE donated items for the silent auction to help raise funds for student travel to national SETAC meetings.
Following the meeting SETAC held its first joint meeting with the Ohio Chapter of the Society of Risk Analysis. The meeting included student poster and platform presentations on the topic of: Ecological and Human Health in the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley: Assessing the Present Situation. Awards were given for the best presentations. Both meetings were a great success.
BHE Participates in US EPA and AGCA Workshops
Environmental Guidance for the Construction Industry
In September 2003 the US Environmental Protection Agency and the Associated General Contractors of America joined to conduct a series of telephone workshops and an open forum for information exchange related to the environmental responsibilities of the construction industry. BHE Environmental participated in the effort, mostly by listening and learning, but also by contributing comments and a limited amount of technical support material. In short, the workshops and exchange of information helped us to better understand issues encountered in the construction industry and provided guidance on how to plan for compliance with applicable regulations and avoid costly problems and delays.
The EPA / AGCA effort produced a helpful website called the Construction Industry Compliance Assistance Center as well as a guidance document entitled "Managing Your Environmental Responsibilities: A Planning Guide for Construction and Development". Both can be reviewed by visiting the sites listed below:

BHE Membership with AIHA
BHE has participated in membership in the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) for over 25 years. The AIHA is the premier professional association that promotes healthy and safe environments by advancing the science, principles, practice, and value of industrial hygiene and occupational and environmental health and safety.
Through our partnership with the AIHA and participation in the many learning opportunities, services, and programs it offers, BHE industrial hygiene and safety professionals continuously enhance their knowledge, management skills, and professional network. Involvement in the AIHA provides and facilitates access to science-based information that our clients need to ensure that their health and safety efforts have moved beyond simple regulatory compliance.
BHE industrial hygienists attend AIHA / ACGIH conferences and expositions, professional development courses, and local section meetings; support the AIHA foundation and local section; subscribe to their monthly journal (the Synergist) and other technical publications; and are listed in the AIHA consultant's directory found on their web site.
