Document Title:Current Intelligence Bulletin 65: Occupational Exposure to Carbon Nanotubes and Nanofibers
url:http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2013-145/
Scope:This NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin, (1) reviews the animal and other toxicological data relevant to assessing the potential non-malignant adverse respiratory effects of CNT and CNF, (2) provides a quantitative risk assessment based on animal dose-response data, (3) proposes a recommended exposure limit (REL) of 1 μg/m3 elemental carbon as a respirable mass 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA) concentration, and (4) describes strategies for controlling workplace exposures and implementing a medical surveillance program.
Keywords:carbon nanotubes, nanofibers, occupational safety
Type of Document:c. Guideline
Issues Areas:Health, Safety, and Environment
Primary Category:General Industry/Manufacturing
Additional Categories
Goal or Need:

The goal of this occupational safety and health guidance for carbon nanotubes (CNT) and carbon nanofibers (CNT) is to prevent the development of adverse respiratory health effects in workers.
The findings and recommendations in this Current Intelligence Bulletin are
intended to minimize the potential health risks associated with occupational exposure to CNT and CNF by recommending a working lifetime exposure limit (1 μg/m3, 8-hr TWA, 45 years), a sampling and analytical method to detect CNT and CNF, medical surveillance and screening and other guidelines.

Intended Stakeholders:Academia, industry, organized labor, public health agencies, and public interest groups, as well as to federal agencies responsible for ensuring the safety and health of workers.
