As the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Nanotechnology Research Center (NTRC) marks its 20th anniversary, NIOSH celebrates the creative work of the Engineering Controls and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) critical topic area, one of the ten critical nanotechnology topic areas of the NTRC. NIOSH researchers have conducted laboratory and field research to develop and implement science-based national guidance for respiratory and other PPE to protect against nanomaterial exposures. This blog post highlights major milestones and success indicators of PPE knowledge and advancements.
