Abstract/Summary
The primary objective of this project is to design, build, and implement the Web-based Nanoparticle Information Library (NIL). The NIL is being developed as a global source for information concerning the properties and associated health and safety implications of the myriad nanomaterials that are being developed. This work also supports efforts ongoing in the Nanoparticles in the Workplace project. It is intended to provide NIOSH and the occupational safety and health community with access to knowledge as to the variety and extent of nanomaterials being produced worldwide, along with information concerning their physical and chemical properties, processes of origin, and possible health effects.
