Three New Resources for Managing Use of Nanomaterials
Much thinner than a human hair, engineered and manufactured nanomaterials are increasingly used in construction. When workers cut, grind, sand, or disturb such products, dust containing the nanomaterial gets into the air that workers breathe, possibly creating hazards. CPWR (the Center for Construction Research and Training) has just released three new Toolbox Talks — each in English and in Spanish — to help the construction industry manage these potential dangers.
