Currently in its Fifth Edition, the NMAM contains 60 methods and 11 chapters that can be utilized by the occupational safety and health community to measure worker exposures. NIOSH researchers have written an updated chapter covering the application and validation of biological monitoring methods for chemical exposures in occupational health and safety to be included in NMAM.
