Nanotechnology-Related Environment, Health, and Safety Research: Examining the National Strategy

Iranian National Standards regarding safety, health and environmental aspects of nanotechnology: A review

Introduction: In recent years, the rapid growth of nanotechnology has posed challenges related to health and safety of nanomaterials. Standardization is one of the first steps in assessing and controlling the risks posed by nanotechnology. Therefore, this study was conducted to review the national standards of Iran regarding the safety, health and environmental aspects of nanotechnology. Metho...

First Evaluation on the Joint Research Strategy of German Governmental Research Institutions "Nanotechnology - Risks related to Nanomaterials for Humans and the Environment" (2007 - 2011)

Green Schools based on Environmental, Health, Safety and Energy Strategy

Schools play a vital role in creating a greener future. They will likely be the first place most students encounter determined efforts to conserve energy and water or to reduce waste. The method used in this article is comparative and matching method, by using ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001 and ISO 50001 standards.  Implementing energy management along with other standards is the main objective of pres...

Effectiveness of Local Exhaust Ventilation ( LEV ) in Controlling Engineered Nanomaterial Emissions During Reactor

T he National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is the federal agency that conducts research and makes recommendations for preventing work-related injuries, illnesses, and deaths. The NIOSH Nanotechnology Research Center coordinates the Institute’s laboratory, field, and information dissemination activities on the development of tools, practices, and recommendations for the g...

Concerns related to Safety Management of Engineered Nanomaterials in research environment

Since the rise of occupational safety and health research on nanomaterials a lot of progress has been made in generating health effects and exposure data. However, when detailed quantitative risk analysis is in question, more research is needed, especially quantitative measures of workers exposure and standards to categorize toxicity/hazardousness data. In the absence of doseresponse relationsh...
