ABSTRACT

Nanomaterials are currently at the center of the materials science and the medicinal worlds. —e demand for nanotechnology drives the development of products such as highly eŸective sunscreens, blood glucose monitors, or light bulbs. —is increasing incorporation of nanomaterials into consumer products provides opportunity for increased exposure to the workers who produce the materials, the consumers who utilize the products, as well as the environments into which the product is introduced. —e development of safety protocols and the establishment of exposure regulations will naturally play an important role in the development of the ™eld of nanotechnology.
