We help research labs and centers assess nanomaterial risks based on:

1. Hazard identification: Identify hazards by contacting those working with nanomaterials.
2. Process review: Visit labs and observe experiments.
3. Exposure evaluation: Review nanomaterials that could be released during various grinding, etching, sonicating, mixing, or pouring tasks.
4. Risk characterization: Assess risk levels based on how nanomaterials are used and potential exposure length.
5. Controls: Recommend applicable engineering controls like glove boxes, enclosures, fume hoods, biosafety cabinets, HEPA filtered enclosures, or local exhaust ventilation.
