NTRC Strategic Plan

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (ÐÇ¿ÕÓéÀÖ¹ÙÍø) has pioneered research on the toxicological properties and characteristics of nanoparticles. This research has involved characterizing occupationally relevant nanomaterials (particles, tubes and fibers) for predicting whether these particles pose a risk of adverse health effects and for providing guidance on assessing and controlling workplace exposures. In September 2005, NIOSH developed a draft strategic plan to further guide the Institute in identifying and prioritizing nanotechnology research. In 2008 an updated draft was posted on the NIOSH Web site for public comment and a final document published in 2009.
