Principles for characterizing the potential human health effects from exposure to nanomaterials

The rapid proliferation of many different engineered nanomaterials presents a dilemma to regulators regarding hazard identification. The International Life Sciences Institute Research Foundation/Risk Science Institute convened an expert working group to develop a screening strategy for the hazard identification of engineered nanomaterials. The working group report presents the elements of a screening strategy rather than a detailed testing protocol.
