Delno Malzahn

Conducted, directed, and supervised hundreds of projects and programs in the fields of industrial hygiene, meteorology, environmental engineering and environmental health. Subject areas include asbestos, asphalt fumes (roofing and paving), benzene, carbon monoxide, explosive dust, formaldehyde, isocyanates (spray foam insulation), lead, metal removal fluids, mercury, nanoparticles, PAH, PCBs, petroleum hydrocarbons, sanitation and sterilization chemicals, building product off gassing, solvents, silica, welding fumes, noise and heat stress, etc., ambient air quality studies (particulates and toxic chemicals), ambient air quality dispersion modeling, indoor air quality exposure studies (antimicrobial products, various chemicals including diacetyl, petroleum distillates, reduced sulfur compounds, xylene , pesticides and bioaerosols including mold, bacteria and legionella), mold assessment and remediation , product contamination indoor air quality modeling, building ventilation and water /moisture intrusion studies and soils and groundwater studies (toxic chemicals), lithium-ion battery in vehicles and storage, environmental remediation, ambient air quality monitoring and modeling, air quality permitting, hazard communication, general industrial hygiene and corporate industrial hygiene and environmental management. Expert retentions have been in matters related to personal injury/toxic tort, product liability, property contamination and damage and new product development.
