Sourcelist on Chinese Worker Exposure to Nanoparticle Study

The publication in the European Respiratory Journal of a study by Y. Song and colleagues of Capital University of Medical  Sciences in Beijing China that links nanoparticles with lung disease and the deaths of two factory workers has received a spate of quick responses from the scientific community. Below is a chronological compilation of resources and reactions to the work.

Nanomanufacturing

Nanomanufacturing is the essential bridge between the discoveries of the nano sciences and real-world nanotechnology-enabled products. It is the utilization of value-added processes to control matter at the nanoscale in one, two, and three dimensions for reproducible, commercial-scale production;It encompasses bottom-up directed assembly, top-down high resolution processing, molecular systems engineering, and hierarchical integration with macro-scale systems.

Nanofibers

Written by Fred Lybrand, Elmarco, Inc.   Introduction Informal nonwovens, textile, and other engineered fibers industries will often accept the term nanofibers to describe fibers with any diameter size smaller than 1,000 nm or 1 µm.

Instrumentation and Characterization

Introduction “To achieve the promise of nanotechnology—an area that may yield the most important technological innovations of the first quarter of the 21st century—major innovations in measurement science and measurement technology are required.”  This quote, from the 2006 NIST Report, An Assessment of the United States Measurement System: Addressing Measurement Barriers to Accelerate Innovation[1], clearly states the criticality of instrumentation and characterization to the commercial success and implementation of nanotechnology.

Environmental Health and Safety

 Introduction Environmental health and safety (EHS) in nanomanufacturing encompasses the work environment (occupational safety), as well as potential air, water, and waste impacts of nanomanufacturing processes.  More broadly, EHS issues can include potential impacts on the consumer, including safe use and disposal of consumer products containing nanomaterials.
