About the Section
The local sections of the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) are the grassroots of the association. The mission of the Gulf Coast Section is to promote the purposes of the AIHA.

The purposes of AIHA are to:
1. Promote
the field of industrial hygiene

3. Provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and information
4. Represent the interests of industrial hygienists and those they serve.
The Gulf Coast Section has approximately 135 members. Nationally, AIHA
membership exceeds 11,800.
Regular meetings of the Gulf Coast membership are held on the third Thursday
of odd numbered months.
