DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Although the study of the toxicity and risks associated with occupational exposure to nanomaterials is moving forward and numerous meetings have addressed the toxicity and risk of exposure to nanoparticles, no meetings have solely addressed the difficulties in setting occupational exposure limits (OELs) for nanomaterials. The proposed meeting will bring together stakeholders from industry, government agencies, non-government organizations, and academics to focus their talents and expertise on developing strategies for assessing safe workplace exposure levels for nanoparticles. We will hold the meeting at George Washington University (GWU) in Washington, DC. GWU is an academic center of excellence that is nationally renowned for research in occupational health and environmental and occupational health policy issues. There will be co- sponsorship by NYU School of Medicine, ACC, GWU, Ferro Corporation, and the 3M Corporation. The goal of the proposed meeting is to bring together and facilitate discussion among key nanomaterial hygienists, risk assessors, and researchers, and it is anticipated that there will be 75 to 100 attendees. While the meeting will focus on nation-wide efforts to develop OELs for nanomaterials, 2 of the invited speakers, Drs. Pauluhn and Lansiedel, will provide a European perspective on OEL setting. The critical issues have been assigned approximately 1/2 day for presentations and discussions. Full participation of stakeholders, speakers, moderators, and audience is expected and appropriate time for questions, answers, and discussion has been allocated for each session. As a final product of the proposed meeting, a published report will include an overview of the workshop, areas of general consensus and disagreement, and areas needing further research. We anticipate that this report will become a 'state of the science' article with recommendations for the best approaches to developing OELs for diverse nanomaterials with varying degrees of support from toxicity data. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The proposed meeting will bring together stakeholders from industry, government agencies, non- government organizations, and academics to focus their talents and expertise on developing strategies for assessing safe workplace exposure levels for nanoparticles. The meeting will take place in Washington, DC and has a number of co-sponsors. Participation by stakeholders, speakers, and moderators will result in a published report that will provide a 'state of the science' approach (es) to developing safe exposure limits for workplace exposure to nanomaterials. )

描述（由申请人提供）：尽管研究与职业接触纳米材料相关的毒性和风险的研究正在向前发展，许多会议已经解决了暴露于纳米颗粒的毒性和风险，但没有会议仅解决了为纳米材料设定职业暴露限制（OELS）的困难。拟议的会议将汇集来自行业，政府机构，非政府组织和学者的利益相关者，将其才华和专业知识集中在制定评估纳米颗粒的安全工作场所暴露水平的战略上。我们将在华盛顿特区的乔治华盛顿大学（GWU）举行会议。 GWU是一个卓越的学术中心，在全国范围内以职业健康以及环境和职业健康政策问题研究而闻名。纽约大学医学院，ACC，GWU，FERRO Corporation和3M Corporation的共同赞助。拟议的会议的目的是将关键的纳米材料卫生学家，风险评估者和研究人员汇集在一起​​，并促进讨论，​​预计将会有75至100名参与者。虽然会议将重点介绍为纳米材料开发OEL的努力，但其中2位受邀演讲者Drs。 Pauluhn和Lansiedel将在OEL环境中提供欧洲的观点。关键问题已分配约1/2天进行演讲和讨论。每次会议都为利益相关者，演讲者，主持人和受众的全面参与进行了提问，答案和讨论的适当时间。作为拟议会议的最终产品，已发表的报告将包括研讨会，一般共识和分歧领域以及需要进一步研究的领域的概述。我们预计，该报告将成为“科学状态”文章，并建议为毒性数据提供不同程度支持的多种纳米材料开发OEL的最佳方法。 公共卫生相关性：拟议的会议将汇集来自行业，政府机构，非政府组织和学术界的利益相关者，将其才华和专业知识集中在制定评估纳米颗粒的安全工作场所暴露水平的战略上。会议将在华盛顿特区举行，并有许多共同赞助商。利益相关者，演讲者和主持人的参与将导致一份已发表的报告，该报告将为“科学状态”方法（ES）（ES）提供开发安全场所暴露于纳米材料的安全风险限制。 ）
