17 février 2012 - Feasibility of an epidemiological surveillance system for workers occupationally exposed to engineered nanomaterials Nanomaterials are experiencing a worldwide rapid and major industrial development. Divided on the nanometric scale, matter acquires new physical or chemical properties due to the increase in specific surface area and the presence of quantum effects. This industrial development is accompanied by questions about the potential risks to human health. With this in mind, the Ministry of Health (Direction générale de la santé, DGS) has demanded that the Institute for Public Health Research (Institut de recherche en santé publique, Iresp) studies the feasibility of a surveillance system for health effects of occupational exposure to engineered nanomaterials. In response to this request, the IReSP has set up a multidisciplinary working group made up of researchers and professionals from universities, research organisations and various health safety agencies. The group has put the French Institute for Public Health Surveillance (Institut de veille sanitaire, InVS) in charge of developing a surveillance protocol for workers with occupational exposure to engineered nanomaterials. The InVS's assignment has been confirmed by both the DGS and the Ministry of Labour (Direction générale du travail, DGT). [...]
