Agency Crafting Database For Workers, Employers To Access Nano Research

OSHA's chemical hazard experts are crafting a database that will cull data from published peer-reviewed research on potential effects of exposures to nanomaterials in order to give workers and employers “better information” for predicting possible hazards, according to OSHA -- a project that is emerging from the agency's participation in a government-wide task force that for years has been studying the impacts of nanotechnology.
