Several actions concerning nanomaterials are listed in the Assessment of the 3rd Occupational Health Plan 2016-2020:
- the classification of titanium dioxide as a category 2 carcinogen by inhalation
- the initiatives of the network of preventionists in the New Aquitaine region (investigations, meeting and exchange days)
- a kit to help identify the nano risk and a webinar produced by the Auvergne Rhône-Alpes regional nano working group (Direccte, Carsat, occupational health services, with the participation of CEA and CFDT)
- Nano newsletters produced by the nano group in the Bourgogne Franche-Comté region (volunteer occupational health services, OPPBTP, Direccte)
- the study and monitoring of exposure to nanomaterials in connection with the National Health and Environment Plan 4 (PNSE 4), including better use of the R-Nano database

Nanomaterials – The invisible at your fingertips! (LNE, Paris – France)
Paris
Lab visit
- Fête de la Science open day at the Laboratoire National de Métrologie et d’Essais (LNE)
- “Tiny, powerful, fascinating… Nanomaterials, and nanoparticles in particular, are at the heart of many innovations – but also of big questions. How do we observe them? How are they measured? What challenges do they pose for science and society? Come and explore a world that the eye cannot see… but which is already shaping the world of tomorrow”.
