There are many occupational safety and health effects and interactions with nanotechnology. Various occupational safety and health institutes and research centres are focusing their technical skills and hard work on responding to the vital queries that revolve around these repercussions.

Nanomaterials can mainly affect workers who are involved in their manufacturing or industrial use. Scientists are still studying how these nanoparticles can interact and affect the body system.

There is a call to invest in risk assessment at this stage and in an effort to keep up with this rising and active nanotechnology concern, CIS has prepared a bibliography containing references to a selection of items reflecting the theme. References contain full bibliographic descriptions, including abstracts and links giving access to the documents on the Internet when available. They are extracted from the CISDOC bibliographic database, a practical tool for seeking information of international interest on occupational safety and health.
