Intertox is pleased to present 2007's final 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 this rapidly expanding field has to offer.
Intertox has developed an EHS team to address issues impacting public health, legal and worker safety concerns, and risk management, and are involved with numerous EHS related projects. We are prepared to assist consumers, businesses, agencies, researchers, and policy-makers in accessing current and relevant publications, news, and events.
Intertox actively supports current regulatory EHS developments, giving numerous presentations on nanotechnology at conferences across the country. Projects we are currently working on include assessments of consumer products, lifespan of nanomaterials, and occupational exposures. Intertox is also involved with developing science-based guidelines and standards related to nanotechnology EHS through our participating membership with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Technical Advisory Group.
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.
