Resources to Promote Nanomaterial Safety
CPWR has identified more than 900 construction products that contain nanomaterials, extremely small particles that improve performance. Because some nanomaterials may pose health risks, we continue to conduct research to better understand nanomaterial exposures and to develop resources to inform workers of how nanomaterials are being used, associated risks, and safe work practices. Just added to this collection is a fact sheet about nanomaterials in paints and coatings.
