Abstract:
The key issue explored in this paper is whether New Zealand (NZ) occupational health and safety (OHS) legislation provides adequate protection for workers who are exposed to nanoparticles (NP). I evaluate the suitability of NZ regulation of NP exposure in the workplace and the current scientific data on occupational disease attributed to NPs.
