Good Nano Guide

The GoodNanoGuide is an Internet-based collaboration platform specially designed to enhance the ability of experts to exchange ideas on how best to handle nanomaterials in an occupational setting.  It is meant to be an interactive forum that fills the need for up-to-date information about current good practices for managing nanomaterials in a work-related environment, highlighting new practices as they develop.

The GoodNanoGuide strives to provide information on all aspects of occupational safety reflecting a neutral point of view and current understanding of responsible practices regarding handling of engineered nanomaterials.  Initially, the GoodNanoGuide will be restricted to material published by a reliable source.  However, as the GoodNanoGuide develops and matures, it will endeavor to provide a forum for new and original good practice protocols in order to promote the sharing of information and knowledge among experts in the field.  The GoodNanoGuide will work and complement other information projects, including online libraries and encyclopedias.  It is expected that over time the GoodNanoGuide may grow to encompass other issues involved with nanotechnology's development and that self-assembled groups of participants in the GoodNanoGuide may branch off to form process- or product-specific good practice forums.
