NIOSH Publishes Program Performance One-Pager for Nanotechnology Research Center
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) published a program performance one-pager on July 18, 2022, for the Nanotechnology Research Center (NTRC). See https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/programs/ppops/ntrc.html NTRC conducts research to understand the potential effects on human health of exposure to engineered nanomaterials and develops methods to control or eliminate exposures. The one-pager lists the following accomplishments:
- Developed a NIOSH recommended exposure limit (REL) for silver nanomaterials and released Current Intelligence Bulletin 70: Health Effects of Occupational Exposure to Silver Nanomaterials. See https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2021-112/pdfs/2021-112.pdf?id=10.26616/NIOSHPUB2021112 More information is available in our May 20, 2021, blog item (see https://nanotech.lawbc.com/2021/05/niosh-cib-on-health-effect-of-occupational-exposure-to-silver-nanomaterials-includes-rel-for-silver-nanomaterials/ ;
- Published a study reviewing processes, emissions, and exposures in additive manufacturing (see https://www2a.cdc.gov/nioshtic-2/BuildQyr.asp?s1=20062986&f1=%2A&Startyear=&Adv=0&terms=1&D1=10&EndYear=&Limit=10000&sort=&PageNo=1&RecNo=1&View=f& ; and
- Contributed to the 2021 National Nanotechnology Initiative Strategic Plan. See https://www.nano.gov/sites/default/files/pub_resource/NNI-2021-Strategic-Plan.pdf More information is available in our October 12, 2021, blog item (see https://nanotech.lawbc.com/2021/10/nnco-releases-2021-nni-strategic-plan/
According to the one-pager, the following actions are next:
- Publish the document Occupational Exposure Sampling for Engineered Nanomaterials;
- Publish the document Approaches to Safe 3D Printing: A Guide for Makerspace Users, Schools, Libraries and Small Businesses;
- Conduct an evaluation of biomarkers of engineered nanomaterial exposure and disease;
- Issue in final Approaches to Developing Occupational Exposure Limits or Bands for Engineered Nanomaterials; and
- Publish the first two videos in the series of an Overview of Additive Manufacturing Health and Safety.
