      abstract = {"Occupational health nurses (OHNs) are front-line  advocates for preventing illness and injury and protecting  health in a variety of workplace settings, including the  areas of agriculture, construction, health care,  manufacturing, and public safety. OHNs need education and  training in respiratory protection in order to ensure both  their safety and the safety of America's workers. At the  request of the National Personal Protective Technology  Laboratory of the National Institute for Occupational  Safety and Health, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) examined  existing respiratory protection curricula and made  recommendations to improve education and training in  respiratory protection for OHNs. The IOM finds that current  respiratory protection education receives varying amounts  of dedicated time and resources and is taught using a  variety of approaches. Several recommendations are made to  improve the respiratory protection education and training  of OHNs."--Publisher's description.},
