A two-day workshop was held in October 1978 on air sampling strategies for the occupational environment. Strategies comprise the elements of implementing an air sampling program including deciding on the extent of sampling, selecting appropriate types of measurement, placing sampling instruments properly, and interpreting sample results correctly. All of these elements are vital in the reliable assessment of occupational exposures yet their coverage in the industrial hygiene literature is meager. Although keyed to a few introductory topics, the agenda was sufficiently informal to accommodate extemporaneous discussion on any subject related to sampling strategies. Questions raised during the workshop mirror the status of air sampling strategy as much as the factual information that was presented. It may be concluded from the discussion and questions that air sampling strategy is an elementary state and urgently needs concerted attention from the industrial hygiene profession.
