The goal of these sessions was to identify current practices and recommendations regarding medical surveillance for nanomaterial workers.
Conference participants met in three discussion groups.
There were few existing programs directed to nanomaterial workers. Participants expressed a range of views, from feeling that comprehensive medical surveillance is important currently to suggesting that targeted medical surveillance will become important when more complete data are available to assess risks.
Results of health outcomes research for ultrafine air pollution and toxicological information about specific nanomaterials should inform the design of medical surveillance programs. Groups with high exposures should be identified and targeted. Overall, because of uncertainties in the health effects of concern, investments in control measures, exposure assessment efforts, and exposure registries are currently most likely to be important prevention strategies.
这些会议的目的是确定当前关于纳米材料工人医学监测的实践和建议。
会议参与者分成三个讨论小组。
几乎没有针对纳米材料工人的现有计划。参与者表达了一系列观点，从认为全面的医学监测目前很重要，到建议当有更完整的数据来评估风险时，有针对性的医学监测将变得重要。
超细空气污染的健康结果研究结果和特定纳米材料的毒理学信息应指导医学监测计划的设计。应确定和针对高暴露群体。总体而言，由于对关注的健康影响存在不确定性，因此目前对控制措施、暴露评估工作和暴露登记的投资最有可能成为重要的预防策略。
