the 2002 recipient of the AIHA Edward J. Baier Technical Achievement
Award.
“I am humbled by this honor,” said
Mulhausen. “We all rely on collabo-
rations with current partners and the
previous work of those who have
contributed before us, but I am par-
ticularly blessed to be surrounded by
people who continually teach me,
challenge me, and support me—at
home, at 3M, at the University of
Minnesota and at AIHA. It has been,
and continues to be, a wonderful,
rich and rewarding adventure.”
The Academy established the Henry
F. Smyth Jr. Award in 1981 and pres-
ents it to an individual who has rec-
ognized the needs of the industrial
hygiene profession and made major
contributions, contributing to the im-
provement of the public’s welfare.
Henry F. Smyth Jr. was a dedicated
teacher and productive researcher
whose projects enhanced the profes-
sion.
