PUBH X614 - Nanotechnology Health and Safety: Standards and Regulations Pertinent to Nanomaterials
Description
Prior to accessing your first module in the Occupational and Nanotechnology Health and Safety series, we need you to complete a short survey. This information will satisfy our funding requirements and tell us who is interested in learning about occupational and nanotechnology health and safety. Once you have completed and submitted the survey, you have access to all the modules without repeating the survey. There are 19 modules in the series. You may take these modules in sequence or at your own discretion. Thank you for your interest in the METPHAST Modules.
Standards and Regulations Pertinent to Nanomaterials
In this module participants will learn how occupational exposure limits to nanomaterials are determined and how exposure limits are bench-marked based on toxicological evidence or the lack thereof.
Objectives
By the end of this module, learners should be able to:
- Show how occupational exposure limits are established and distinguished among types of occupational exposure limits
- Show how occupational exposure bands or provisional exposure limits can be set in the absence of reliable toxicological evidence
- Locate relevant occupational exposure limits for nanomaterials and select an appropriate benchmark exposure level for a nanomaterial
