2021 Organic Solvents Survey and Needs Assessment
2021 Organic Solvents Survey and Needs Assessment
AIHA PAT Programs is interested in understanding how well the IHPAT Organics program meets your needs with respect to analytical methods, current combinations of analytes, and other/additional analytes that are important to this area of analytical capability. This survey should take less than 10 minutes to complete and will help us plan for 2022 and beyond.

Needs Assessment
Needs Assessment
For the following questions, please indicate the analytes/contaminants you would LIKE to see in the organic solvents program. We recognize there is an overlap in the analytes lists between the methods. Please select all analytes you would like to see in the program for all presented methods (even if an analyte has already been selected for another method). This needs assessment will help us plan for the future of the program.
