Past Events

• Society for Risk Analysis Annual Meeting 2010. On Tuesday December 7th, Dr. Guidotti presented "A Proposal for the Regulation of Occupational Exposure to Nanomaterials." Dr. Guidotti discussed the need for a consistent regulatory approach to nanomaterials. There are no clear studies to date that characterize the risks of nanomaterials under reasonable operating conditions; however the extrapolated risk of some resembles that of fine and ultrafine particulate air pollution, which could provide a "peg" by which to anchor a regulatory regime.
