National Occupational Exposure Survey (NOES)

The National Occupational Exposure Survey (NOES) was conducted by the U.S. government to gather information about workers' exposure to chemicals and hazardous substances across different industries and occupations. It aimed to identify potential health risks by analyzing the types and levels of exposures workers face during their job activities. The survey provided valuable data to help protect worker health, inform safety regulations, and guide workplace improvements. Although NOES was conducted in the late 1980s and early 1990s, it remains an important resource for understanding occupational hazards and shaping occupational health policies.
