What Safety Guidelines Has NIOSH Developed for Nanotechnology?
NIOSH has published several guidance documents and recommendations to ensure the safe use of nanomaterials. These documents cover topics such as:
- Engineering Controls: Recommendations for ventilation systems and containment strategies. - Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Guidelines for selecting appropriate PPE, including respirators and protective clothing. - Work Practices: Best practices for handling, storing, and disposing of nanomaterials. - Medical Surveillance: Recommendations for health monitoring of workers exposed to nanomaterials.
