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）：尽管与职业接触纳米材料相关的毒性和风险的研究正在取得进展，并且许多会议已经讨论了接触纳米颗粒的毒性和风险，但没有会议单独解决设定职业接触限值的困难（OEL）用于纳米材料。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，集中他们的才能和专业知识来制定评估纳米颗粒安全工作场所暴露水平的策略。我们将在华盛顿特区的乔治华盛顿大学（GWU）举行会议。乔治华盛顿大学是一个卓越的学术中心，以职业健康以及环境和职业健康政策问题的研究而闻名全国。纽约大学医学院、ACC、GWU、Ferro Corporation 和 3M Corporation 将共同赞助。拟议会议的目标是聚集主要纳米材料卫生学家、风险评估人员和研究人员并促进讨论，​​预计将有 75 至 100 名与会者。虽然会议将重点讨论全国范围内为纳米材料开发 OEL 所做的努力，但其中 2 位受邀演讲者是 Drs. Pauluhn 和 Lansiedel 将提供欧洲关于 OEL 设置的视角。关键问题被分配了大约 1/2 天的时间进行演示和讨论。期望利益相关者、演讲者、主持人和观众充分参与，并且为每场会议分配了适当的提问、回答和讨论时间。作为拟议会议的最终产品，已发布的报告将包括研讨会概述、普遍共识和分歧领域以及需要进一步研究的领域。我们预计这份报告将成为一篇“科学现状”文章，其中提出了为各种纳米材料开发 OEL 的最佳方法的建议，并得到了不同程度的毒性数据支持。 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，集中他们的才能和专业知识来制定评估纳米颗粒安全工作场所暴露水平的策略。会议将在华盛顿特区举行，并有许多共同发起人。利益相关者、演讲者和主持人的参与将产生一份已发表的报告，该报告将提供“科学现状”方法，以制定工作场所纳米材料暴露的安全暴露限制。 ）
