Nanomaterial Risk Assesment Review in the Scope of Occupational Health and Safety

Nanomaterials is engineered materials and there is a growing concern of harmful effects for human health. These concerns have been directed to identify threats, determine risk factors, improve risk assessment methods for occupational health and safety in areas where worker exposure exists. Although there are improvements in sectoral base for nanomaterials and its processes, there isn’t complete regulation or systematic framework containing all risks. It is also not clear how nanomaterials will affect worker’s health in the future. The purpose of this study is to define consize information about risk factors, risk assessments, analysis methods and give a perspective of nanomaterials in context of occupational health and safety
