Organization:	European Chemical Industry Council (CEFIC)
Summary:	The Producers Association of Carbon Nanotubes in Europe (PACTE), a division of the European Chemical Industry Council (CEFIC), has released this Code of Conduct for the production and usage of carbon nanotubes in industry. The code reflects “good practices” for ensuring safety. These include using technical work equipment (such as a local exhaust ventilation system and vacuum pickup) to minimize the release of carbon nanotubes, organizational protection measures (information and training for employees on the risks, and documentation of work processes), personal protection measures (respirators and protective clothing), monitoring of workplace exposure (pre- and post-production measurements of airborne nanotubes), and worker health surveillance (routine screenings for workers).
