Current surveillance plan for persons handling nanomaterials in the National University of Singapore.

Objective: The number of research projects involving engineered nanomaterials within the National University of Singapore is increasing. We aim to characterize typical exposures in our laboratories and to develop a health surveillance protocol for persons working with nanomaterials in this project that has recently been launched.

Methods: Our surveillance project builds on existing occupational safety and health risk assessment systems in the National University of Singapore.
