• Magnetic Nanoparticles Important Health & Safety Notice:

1) Before using magnetic nanoparticles and magnetic ferrofluids, the user shall determine the suitability of the product for its intended use, and user assumes all risk and liability whatsoever in connection therewith.

2) Please visit and read this excellent "Approaches To Safe Nanotechnology" document from the CDC & NIOSH

3) With the publication of the Approaches to Safe Nanotechnology document, NIOSH hopes to: raise awareness of the occupational safety and health issues involved with nanotechnology; make recommendations on occupational safety and health best practices in the production and use of nanomaterials; facilitate dialogue between NIOSH and its external partners in industry, labor and academia; respond to requests for authoritative safety and health guidelines; and, identify information gaps and areas for future study and research.
