NIOSH Partnership Focuses on Safety in the Nanoelectronics Industry
The partnership “will serve as a platform for occupational safety and health research as well as educational and business initiatives leading to the development of new risk management guidance, recommendations and findings relating to the potential human health impacts of exposure to nanomaterials,” NIOSH said.
NIOSH and the Colleges of Nanoscale Science and Engineering at SUNY Polytechnic Institute in Albany, N.Y., have signed a memorandum of understanding to advance research and guidance for occupational safety and health in the nanoelectronics industry and other settings where workers are potentially exposed to engineered nanomaterials.
