Interim Best Practices for Working with Nanoparticles Center for High-Rate Nanomanufacturing

M. Ellenbecker, S. Tsai

This document was written to provide interim best safety and health practices to students, staff and faculty of the CHN who work with nanoparticles. We use “interim” best practices because the field of nanoparticle health and safety is rapidly evolving at this time; there is much that is not known about the toxicity of nanoparticles and the hazards of respiratory and dermal exposures, and there is no known safe threshold for such exposures to nanoparticles. It is expected that this document will be updated periodically – when this happens, the new version will be distributed to all CHN investigators and posted here.
