Japan's Gov't to Evaluate Safety of Nanomaterials

Abstract:
Japan's Ministry of Health, Lobour and Welfare held the first meeting of study groups on the safety of nanomaterials such as carbon nanotube and fullerene at a joint government building in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo, March 3, 2008.

The study group will discuss the safety of nanomaterials and their effects on people's health. This meeting was jointly held as the first meeting of the respective "study group on measures to prevent workers from being exposed to chemicals, which are not confirmed as non-toxic to human" and "study group on nanomaterials' safety."
