The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and a university-based nanotechnology research center today announced a formal partnership that will provide companies with practical research and guidance to promote occupational health and safety in nanotechnology.

Under the agreement, NIOSH will partner with the National Science Foundation (NSF) Center for High-rate Nanomanufacturing (CHN) - a collaboration of the University of Massachusetts Lowell, Northeastern University and the University of New Hampshire - in research to identify and address potential occupational health and safety concerns related to the nanotechnology industry.
