Nano 101: A Review of the Art and Science of Nanotechnology

Nanomaterials have physical and chemical properties that are often different from their parent material, making them desirable for certain product applications. More than 1,000 nanomaterial-containing products are currently manufactured. The size and shape of engineered nanomaterials greatly affects their toxicity and environmental impact. Attend this session to learn about:

• Basic methods and processes used to produce engineered nanomaterial
• Exposure-causing processes during manufacturing, handling and processing
• Workplace safety and environmental considerations, and how to identify high-risk activities
• Engineering controls and exposure monitoring
