C. Pleus, Ph.D., Director
Intertox is pleased to provide the new 2007 edition of our Nanotechnology EHS newsletter. We are dedicated to providing relevant and current information regarding environmental health and safety (EHS) risks associated with nanoparticles, nanomaterials, and processes of nanotechnology.
This newsletter will guide you to the most important developing news and information in this rapidly expanding field.
Intertox has developed a nanotechnology EHS team to address issues that may impact public health, including EHS, legal and worker safety concerns, and risk management. We are involved with numerous projects in this quickly developing field and are ready to assist consumers, businesses, agencies, researchers, and policy-makers that need access to current and relevant publications, news, and events.
Let us know how we can help to keep you better informed of the emerging developments concerning nanotechnology. We can provide timely, informed assessments of this information and its potential impact on your business or agency. Also, please e-mail us your feedback, as we welcome your comments and suggestions about how we might improve this service.
