Nanotechnology

Documents for Public Comment

NIOSH invites internal and external stakeholders, researchers, industry, and anyone interested in nanotechnology to participate in an information exchange.  NIOSH is seeking feedback, comments, and review of three documents developed to advance occupational safety and health in the field of nanotechnology.  NIOSH is also interested in hearing about any relevant information or experiences pertaining to the field of nanotechnology.

Nanotechnology is a growing and dynamic field with many unknowns.  As our knowledge and understanding about nanotechnology develops, NIOSH will update its recommendations to promote safe nanotechnology in the occupational setting.
