The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health is participating in an international effort of research groups, government agencies and industries seeking to understand the health impact of Nanotechnology and how to control potential risks. NIOSH is pursuing a number of initiatives, including:

• Studying the mechanisms leading to nanoparticle toxicity.

• Developing and testing methods to characterize and monitor the healthrelated properties of nanomaterials.

• Investigating nanoparticle exposure and ways of controlling exposure in the workplace

Through strategic planning, working in partnership with others and making information widely available, NIOSH is working in parallel with the development and implementation of nanotechnology to fulfill its mission of providing national and world leadership to prevent work-related illness and injuries.
