Review of the OSHA Framework for Oversight of Occupational Environments

Nanotechnology is touted as a transformative technology in that it is predicted to improve many aspects of human life. There are hundreds of products in the market that utilize nanostructures in their design, such as composite materials made out of carbon or metal oxides. Potential risks to consumers, to the environment, and to workers from the most common passive nano material carbon nano tubes are emerging through scientific research. Newer more active nanostructures such as cancer therapies and targeted drug systems are ...
