| Abstract |
An initial review of the literature on nanoparticles (see CIS 07-852) prompted the IRSST to publish two reports on this subject early in 2006, namely on the health risks of nanotechnologies and on various aspects of industrial hygiene that involve them. This report consists of an update of the earlier reports, deemed necessary considering the rapid evolution in scientific knowledge in this area. |
