Book excerpt: The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is the Federal agency responsible for conducting research and making recommendations to prevent work-related injury, illness, and death. As such, NIOSH is active in (1) identifying critical issues related to possible health hazards of nanomaterials, (2) protecting the safety and health of workers involved in this emerging technology, and (3) implementing a strategic plan to develop and disseminate methods for safely advancing the technology through workplace controls and safe handling procedures, and (4) investigating the possible applications of nanotechnology to solve workplace safety and health issues. Because of their small size and large surface area, engineered nanoparticles may have chemical, physical, and biological properties distinctly different from larger particles of similar chemical composition. Those properties may include the ability to reach the gas exchange regions of the lung, travel from the lung throughout the body, penetrate dermal barriers, cross cell membranes, and interact at the molecular level. NIOSH is investigating all of these properties, as it would with any new technology or material in the workplace, to provide the necessary guidance to ensure a safe and healthy workplace.

Download or read book Progress Toward Safe Nanotechnology in the Workplace written by Department of Human Services and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-10 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As with any new technology, the earliest and most extensive exposures to engineered nanoparticles are most likely to occur in the workplace among the workers who produce and use nanoparticles. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is mandated by law to conduct research and develop guidance on worker safety and health. NIOSH and its partners in other government agencies, countries, academia, industry, labor, and nongovernmental organizations have been conducting research and developing guidance to address the occupational safety and health of workers exposed to nanomaterials. In February 2007, NIOSH issued its report on Progress Toward Safe Nanotechnology in the Workplace. That report described the progress of the NIOSH Nanotechnology Research Center (NTRC) since its inception in 2004 through 2006. In this November 2009 update, we describe program accomplishments achieved in 2007 and 2008. The NTRC has, with limited resources, continued to make contributions to all the steps in the continuum from hazard identification to risk management. Occupational safety and health issues of nanotechnology are complex. The types of nanomaterials and the opportunities for workplace exposure continue to grow rapidly. The challenge is to effectively address the safety and health issues of nanotechnology while helping society realize the far-reaching potential benefits. NIOSH will continue to respond to this challenge.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the challenges the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and related federal agencies face when allocating limited resources so that worker health and safety go hand in hand with innovation and technical progress? This was the central issue addressed at a workshop on nanotechnology and occupational safety and health hosted by the RAND Corporation on October 17, 2005. The workshop focused on policy and planning issues (as opposed to scientific issues) that are key to understanding the options available to NIOSH in formulating and implementing its strategic objectives to protect the safety and health of workers exposed to nanoscale materials. This document of the conference proceedings draws on discussions during the workshop and places the discussions within a policy framework for further consideration by NIOSH.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Nanotechnology is the engineering and manipulation of materials at the molecular level. This new technology creates materials with dimensions ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers (1 nanometer is 1 billionth of a meter). Particles created at the nanoscale have different chemical and physical properties than larger particles of the same material. These manufactured nanoparticles are known as engineered nanoparticles. Scientists and manufacturers can use nanoparticles to create new products that would be impossible with larger particles. This brochure addresses the following questions: 1. Are nanoparticles hazardous to workers? 2. How can workers be exposed? 3. Can nanoparticles be measured? 4. Can worker exposures be controlled?" --NIOSHTIC-2

Book Synopsis Filling the Knowledge Gaps for Safe Nanotechnology in the Workplace by : Nanotechnology Research Center (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health)
Download or read book Filling the Knowledge Gaps for Safe Nanotechnology in the Workplace written by Nanotechnology Research Center (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The NIOSH Nanotechnology Research Center (NTRC) was established in 2004 to develop, coordinate, and deliver an organized program of research to identify, investigate, and develop science-based solutions to workplace health and safety knowledge gaps in nanotechnology. The NTRC provides overall strategic direction and coordination of the NIOSH nanotechnology cross-sector research program (http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/nanotech/). The responsibilities of the NTRC are in accordance with the legislative mandate issued to NIOSH in Section 20(a) (4) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, which states: "...conduct special research, experiments, and demonstrations relating to occupational safety and health as are necessary to explore new problems, including those created by new technology in occupational safety and health, which may require ameliorative action beyond that which is otherwise provided for in the operating provisions of this Act." Nanotechnology is a rapidly emerging material science technology that has been identified as a critical U.S. scientific and commercial enterprise with global economic benefits. Concern over the lack of knowledge about the potential health risks associated with the handling of pure, unbound engineered nanomaterials has been expressed by investors, entrepreneurs, government agencies, and public health advocacy groups. Such concerns create potential barriers to the growth of nanotechnology and the commercialization of products and devices that could help address serious global problems concerning energy, transportation, pollution, health, and food. Issues that have been raised about worker health and safety must be add ressed to ensure responsible development, societal benefit, and associated economic growth. Vision Statement: The NTRC facilitates responsible development of nanotechnology by identifying and addressing gaps in occupational safety and health knowledge. This vision is accomplished by creating a strategic plan of research, coordinating and facilitating the delivery of results, developing and disseminating science-based risk management recommendations, and providing national and world leadership.

NIOSH established the Nanotechnology Research Center (NTRC) in 2004 to coordinate and promote research in nanotechnology and to develop guidance on the safe handling of nanomaterials in the workplace. The NTRC is a virtual center in which NIOSH scientists and engineers at geographically dispersed locations are linked by shared computer networks and other technologies. This approach surmounts the logistical complications that traditionally arise when scientists and engineers collaborating on common research are not physically in the same location. In 2007 the NTRC issued Progress Toward Safe Nanotechnology in the Workplace (DHHS NIOSH Publication No. 2007-123). That report describes the progress of the NTRC since its inception in 2004 through 2006. This November 2009 update describes program accomplishments achieved in 2007 and 2008, and it includes summary updates from 43 intramural projects and a comprehensive extramural program.
