Nanos and Occupational Health

By the AVICENN team – Last modification September 2023

Many employees are likely to be exposed to nanoparticles and manufactured nanomaterials in almost all sectors.

The workplaces concerned can be research and development laboratories, start-ups resulting from this research, large companies or a whole series of small and medium-sized companies, as well as craftsmen and distributors, who receive a flow of raw materials, semi-finished products and finished products.

This dossier explores various issues related to the exposure of workers to nanos, the legal framework of nanos in the workplace and avenues of improvement for a better risk assessment and protection of workers.
