Description:Nanomaterials are very small. They are many times thinner than a human hair. Materials that contain engineered nanomaterials are called nano-enabled and are increasingly being used in construction. When workers cut, grind, sand or spray nano-enabled construction materials, dust or mist containing the engineered nanomaterial gets into the air that workers breathe. Some nanomaterials have been shown to cause health problems in test animals. Many have not been thoroughly tested. Nano-sized titanium dioxide and multi-walled carbon nanotubes are added to some construction materials. Studies show they can harm the lungs and cause cancer in laboratory animals.
