Report Title:	Approach to Nanomaterial ES&H, Revision 2
Report ID:	133
Date:	6/1/2007
Author:	US Department of Energy
Report Type:	Guidance Document
URL:	[DOE_NSRC_Approach_to_Nanomaterial_ESH.pdf]
Country:	United States of America
Organization:	Department of Energy, Nanoscale Science Research Centers
Summary:	The US Department of Energys Office of Science funds nanotechnology research at its Nanoscale Science Research Centers (NSRCs) under the Basic Energy Sciences program. This document provides non-mandatory guidance for managing nanoparticle environmental, safety, and health concerns at NSRCs. It is intended to assist NSRCs in protecting worker safety and the environment, promote a consistent policy across offices, and offer reasonable guidance for managing the still-uncertain hazards of nanomaterials. The document discusses controls for laboratory operations, methods of verifying policy effectiveness, transportation guidelines, management of nanomaterial-bearing waste streams, and management of spills. A sample industrial hygiene sampling protocol is attached.
