ICON issues Survey of Nanotechnology Practices
13th Nov 2006, 18:26 GMT
The first comprehensive, international survey of workplace safety practices in the burgeoning nanotechnology industry finds that many companies are developing special programs and procedures to mitigate potential risks to workers. However, due in part to a lack of general information regarding nanomaterial risks, companies are using conventional environmental, health and safety (EHS) practices when handling nanomaterials, even though the practices were developed to deal with materials with markedly different chemical properties.
