Further information

• Horizon scanning paper
  This is the paper that raised nanotechnology as an issue with the Health and Safety Commission.
• Nano particle Occupational Safety and Health (NOSH) Consortium Executive Summary.
  The NOSH Consortium was formed with the idea of pooling resources. The project is now complete and the executive summary provides details of publications and outline results. NOTE: This is a document which has been produced externally from HSE, therefore it does not meet normal publication standards.
• Health effects of particles produced for nanotechnologies EH75/6.
  A scientific review, undertaken by HSE's Industrial Chemicals Unit, evaluating the limited scientific information available to HSE at the time.
• Review of the adequacy of current regulatory regimes to secure effective regulation of nanoparticles created by nanotechnology
• HSE Nanotechnology research – Outline tables - July 08 Update

Nano alerts

This bulletin service aims to provide an overview of publications of studies that have examined the exposure and potential health effects of nanomaterials, particularly in the occupational setting. The bibliographies may not represent the entirety of the literature identified as filter terms particular to HSE were applied. For example the summary of toxicity studies may list only those that are directly relevant to human health.
