Reports on current safety pratices by nano-scale scientists:
-
Reported nanosafety practices in research laboratories worldwide by (Francisco Balas, Manuel Arruebo, Jone Urrutia & Jesus Santamaria)
California Department of Toxics Substances Control Nanotechnology page
- Responses ot the questions on the creation, use and disposal of carbon nanotubes
- The Department is now interested in requesting information regarding analytical test methods, fate and transport in the environment, and other relevant information from manufacturers of reactive nanometal oxides. Some possible nanometal oxides that are being reviewed include aluminum oxide, silicon dioxide, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, nano silver, nano zerovalent iron, and cerium oxide
