OSHA's Forecast for 2007
Abstract:
One area he feels OSHA should be paying close attention to in the coming year is nanotechnology. Although nanotechnology - the engineering of matter at the molecular scale - has become increasingly prevalent in consumer products ranging from automobile parts to clothing to cosmetics, and its products are estimated to be valued at as much as $2.6 trillion by 2014, little is known about potential risks in many areas of nanotechnology - including the effects of workplace exposure to nanoparticles.
