| Abstract |
An initial literature survey on nanoparticles prompted the IRSST to publish two reports on this subject early in 2006 (see CIS 06-1148 and CIS 07-852), namely on the health risks of nanotechnologies and on various aspects of industrial hygiene involving nanoparticles. This report consists of an update of the earlier literature survey, rendered necessary by the rapid advances in scientific knowledge in this area. |
