• Journal Article:
  Toolbox talk: nano-enabled wood coatings and stains
• Corporate Authors:
  CPWR--The Center for Construction Research and Training
• Description:
  Engineered and manufactured nanomaterials are very small - much thinner than a human hair. Products that contain engineered nanomaterials are increasingly used in construction. When workers cut, grind, sand, or disturb nano-enabled construction products, dust containing the engineered nanomaterial gets into the air that workers breathe. Some nanomaterials cause health problems in test animals, but most have not been thoroughly tested. [Description provided by NIOSH]
