Tom Loney is presenting research at the American Industrial Hygiene Association Conference 2012 which was undertaken as part of OPL’s work programme at the Health and Sports Medicine Centre (HSMC) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The study evaluated the predictive utility of urine colour to estimate urine osmolality in Army cadets from the United Arab Emirates and assess the effectiveness of educating a sub-sample of cadets to self-monitor hydration status.
Tom formerly worked for OPL and is now an Assistant Professor in the Department of Community Medicine at the United Arab Emirates University.
