Description:Nanomaterials are very small. They are many times thinner than a human hair. Materials that contain engineered nanomaterials are called nano-enabled. Nano-enabled construction materials can be self-cleaning, insulating, fire resistant, stronger, and anticorrosive. Engineered nanomaterials can be found in many products, including paints and coatings, cement, insulation, roofing, and lubricants. When workers cut, grind, sand or spray nano-enabled materials, dust or mist containing the engineered nanomaterial gets into the air that workers breathe. Some nanomaterials cause health problems in test animals. Many have not been thoroughly tested. There is no specific OSHA standard or exposure limit for engineered nanomaterials. However, other OSHA standards, like the respiratory protection or hazard communication standards, may apply.
