Nano-enabled Construction Products: Risk Assessment and Safety Practices in Nakuru
Author(s): Ryavaso Mardhaw*
The utilization of engineered nanomaterials in the construction sector represents an emerging risk, with limited data available on the subject.
This paper examines the potential hazards associated with nano-enabled construction products and the measures taken by safety coordinators
to address these risks. Initially, a summary of safety data sheets (SDSs) for these products and publications on potential nano-exposure was
analyzed. Additionally, a survey was emailed to a representative sample of safety coordinators in Nakuru. Key findings revealed that nearly none
of the SDSs included nano-specific information, and activities involving nanomaterials in powder form or for spraying posed the highest risks.
The survey indicated that while awareness of nano-enabled construction products is widespread, the actual use of nanomaterials remains very
limited. These result.. Read More»
