Emanuele Cauda, PhD, and Lauren Chubb, DrPH, were recently honored at the 2019 American Industrial Hygiene Conference and Expo with Best Paper honors in two different categories.
Both Drs. Cauda and Chubb were named as two of the winners of the David Swift Memorial Award, given by the association's Aerosol and Technology Committee. The committee bestowed the honor for the paper, "A comparison of respirable crystalline silica concentration measurements using a direct-on-filter Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) transmission method vs. a traditional laboratory X-ray diffraction method," which was published in the *Journal of Occupational and Industrial Hygiene*. Drs. Cauda and Chubb were co-authors along with several other researchers.
Additionally, Dr. Cauda earned Best Paper honors from the association's Hazard Prevention and Engineering Controls Committee for "Evaluation of an Improved Prototype Minibaghouse to Control the Release of Respirable Crystalline Silica from Sand Movers." That paper was also published in the *Journal of Occupational and Industrial Hygiene.* Numerous other authors from different NIOSH divisions were also included in the award.
