Risk Assessment Document of Manufactured Nanomaterials
Interim reports on the risk assessment of three nanomaterials, "Titanium Dioxide (TiO2)", "Fullerene (C60)" and "Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs)", in addition to a brochure representing the concept of the assessment, "The Principles and Basic Approach to Risk Assessment of Manufactured Nanomaterials (interim version)" were published (in Japanese) on October 16, 2009.
The English translations of the executive summaries of these interim reports and the brochure were released on December 22, 2009.
With regard to risk management, measures easily taken by manufacturers are those for exposure control. With reference to these interim reports, risk reduction can be achieved through careful and wise control of exposures.
It is sincerely hoped that these interim reports contribute to the risk management at manufacturing sites.
