Lessons learned from the field, how to protect yourself from occupational exposure to engineered nanomaterials

Hodson L.L., Geraci. M. Methner C.L., Crawford C., CDC/NIOSH, US

NIOSH has visited over 26 nanomaterial facilites, evaluated workplace exposures and created recommended guidance to reduce potential exposures to nanomaterials. A summary of lessons learned about effective control strategies will be shared.

Evaluating nanomaterial exposures in the workplace: A description of the approach used by NIOSH and a summary of findings from 12 site visits

Hodson L.L., Methner M.M., Geraci C.L., NIOSH, US

Health, safety, and environmental issues continue to be a high priority area to be addressed during the commercialization of nanomaterials or nanomaterial-enabled products (Lux 2008). Facilities engaged in the production or use of engineered nanomaterials, [...]
