Occupational safety and health issues of namaterials are complex. Because engineered namaterials are small yet have a relatively large surface area, they may have chemical, physical, and biological properties distinctly different from larger particles of similar chemical composition. Those properties may affect the ability of the namaterials to reach the gas exchange regions of the lung, cell membranes, and interact at the molecular level. The types of namaterials and the opportunities for workplace exposure to them continue to grow rapidly. The challenge is to effectively address safety and health issues of natechlogy while helping society realise natechlogy's far-reaching potential benefits. This book explores the issue of safe natechlogy and progress in the workplace.
