"Manufacture of and with nanomaterials is a growing industry. Workers run a risk of exposure at some stage in the production of nanomaterials, but more so in the manufacture of products that include nanomaterials, and in the transport, storage or treatment of waste. The lack of detailed, robust data to identify exposed workers at all points in the production chain is a real obstacle to risk prevention."
