Concerns related to Safety Management of Engineered Nanomaterials in research environment

Thierry Meyer, Amela Groso

Since the rise of occupational safety and health research on nanomaterials a lot of progress has been made in generating health effects and exposure data. However, when detailed quantitative risk analysis is in question, more research is needed, especially ...
