Start here: http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/nanotech/ Or here: http://www.nsec.wisc.edu/NanoRisks/NS--HS_Protocols_BestPractices.php Or here: http://icon.rice.edu/ There remain many questions about nanoparticles and occupational/environmental health and safety. We just don't know - yet. NIOSH seems to be the prime mover at the moment. The sites above will get you started. I sat in on a teleconference yesterday called "Nanotechnology: Waiting for OSHA." ReeedSmith was the sponsor - the presentation materials might be available on their website (http://www.reedsmith.com/special_topic.cfm?cit_id=12985) Hope this helps, Debbie --------------- Debbie M.
