Description:Nanomaterials are very small. They are many times thinner than a human hair. Materials that contain engineered nanomaterials are called nano-enabled. Engineered nanomaterials are mostly used in paints, coatings, and sealants. They can also be added to asphalt, concrete, cement, insulation, roofing, lubricants, patching compounds, adhesives, flooring, and other materials. Nanomaterials in solid materials, like cured cement, pose little risk of exposure unless they are disturbed. When workers cut nano-enabled cement or spray nano-enabled paint, for example, they can be exposed to dust or mist containing engineered nanomaterials. Some nanomaterials cause health problems in test animals but many have not been thoroughly tested.
