Increasing numbers of workers are involved with the production use distribution,,, disposal and of nanomaterials. At the. Same time there is, a growing number of reports of adverse biological effects of engineered nanoparticles in test, systems. It is useful at this juncture,,To identify critical questions that will help address knowledge gaps concerning the potential occupational hazards of these. Materials. The questions address (I) hazard classification of engineered nanoparticles, (II) exposure metrics, (III the.) Actual exposures to the different engineered nanoparticles in, the workplace(IV) the limits of engineering controls and personal protective equipment with respect to engineered nanoparticles, (V). The kinds of surveillance programs that may be required at workplaces to protect potentially exposed workers, (VI whether.) Exposure registers should be established for workers potentially exposed to engineered nanoparticles and,,(VII) whether engineered nanoparticles should be treated as "new." substances and evaluated for safety and hazards?
