- About ESBL-producing Enterobacterales
Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-E) are resistant to common antibiotics and may require complex treatments Infections caused by ESBL-E can occur both in and outside of healthcare settings Good hand hygiene and infection prevention practices can help reduce infection risk
- Occupational Exposure to Carbon Nanotubes Nanofibers | NIOSH | CDC
As nanotechnology continues to expand into every industrial sector, workers will be at an increased risk of exposure to new nanomaterials Today, nanomaterials are found in hundreds of products, ranging from cosmetics, to clothing, to industrial and biomedical applications
- Protecting Workers during the Handling of Nanomaterials
A primary engineering control used in the nanotechnology industry during the handling, weighing, mixing, or sonica-tion of engineered nanomaterials is a ventilated enclosure
- Approaches to Safe Nanotechnology - Centers for Disease Control and . . .
Nanotechnology is an enabling technology that offers the potential for unprecedented advances in many diverse fields The abil-ity to manipulate matter at the atomic or molecular scale makes it possible to form new materials, structures, and devices that exploit the unique physical and chemical properties associated with nanoscale struc-tures
- Breathing Nanoparticles May Result in Damaging Health Effects | NIOSH | CDC
A Story of Impact: Nanotechnology has the potential to revolutionize countless products, create computers smaller and faster than once could be imagined, and fight diseases such as cancer According to the Project on Emerging Nanotechnology, by the summer of 2009 there were 1,015 consumer products using nanotechnology That represents nearly a 19-fold increase over the 54 products listed in
- Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing) | Manufacturing | CDC
A second pillar is comprehensive exposure assessments performed by the NIOSH Nanotechnology and Advanced Materials Field Studies Team at ten different additive manufacturing sites Fieldwork allows NIOSH to fill knowledge gaps on real-world technologies, uses, and exposures
