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.

Nanoparticle Health Effects

(This module is one of 15 modules on Nanotechnology Health and Safety.)

This course will examine nanoparticles in terms of their characteristic influences on human health through exploring epidemiological studies on ultrafine particles and toxicity studies on nanoparticles.

Objectives

By the end of the module, learners should be able to:

  • Describe the kinds of health studies that have been conducted related to nanoparticle exposures
  • Identify potential health effects from inhalation and dermal exposures to nanomaterials
  • Predict the role of particle properties on health effects
  • Recognize uncertainties in health studies as they apply to human health risks
