Nanotechnology is rapidly expanding into the health care industry. However, occupational safety and health risks of nano-enabled medical products have not been thoroughly assessed. This manuscript highlights occupational risk mitigation practices for nano-enabled medical products throughout their life cycle for all major workplace settings including (1) medical research laboratories, (2) pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities, (3) clinical dispensing pharmacies, (4) health care delivery facilities, (5) home health care, (6) health care support, and (7) medical waste management. It further identifies critical research needs for ensuring worker protection in the health care industry.
纳米技术正在迅速扩展到医疗保健行业。然而,含纳米材料的医疗产品的职业安全与健康风险尚未得到全面评估。本手稿重点介绍了含纳米材料的医疗产品在其整个生命周期内,针对所有主要工作场所环境的职业风险缓解措施,包括(1)医学研究实验室、(2)制药生产设施、(3)临床配药药房、(4)医疗服务提供设施、(5)家庭医疗保健、(6)医疗保健支持以及(7)医疗废物管理。它还确定了在医疗保健行业确保工人安全所需的关键研究需求。
