NANOSCIENCE SAFETY HIGHLIGHTED December 1, 2006 Nanoscience safety requirements at the NSLS tightened in 2006, in an effort to ensure that there are no harmful health effects from the study and handling of nanomaterials. The properties of nanoscale materials are known to differ from those observed for the same materials in bulk or even microscale configuration, and those differences result in uncertainty about the potential health effects and environmental concerns these materials could present. Studies are showing that nanoscale particulates can pass through intact skin, are more likely to reach the air exchange portion of the lungs when inhaled, and can migrate in the body through compartments, along nerve pathways, and through epithelial barriers. The acute and chronic effects of exposure are not yet defined and, until researchers are able to develop a technical basis for exposure standards and for assessment of the risks presented, nanomaterial work conducted at Brookhaven National Laboratory must include conservative controls. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and BNL policy is to use these materials with care and to minimize personnel exposures and environmental releases. Environmental, Safety and Health (ESH) staff working at each of the five DOE nanocenters developed a set of nanoscience safe work practices that is posted on the BNL Standards Based Management System (SBMS) website: https://sbms.bnl.gov/sbmsearch/subjarea/105/ 3836d011.pdf. Everyone working with these materials is expected to know and meet the requirements outlined in that document. The work practices apply to all nanomaterial handling, but focus on control of "free" nano-particulate work as that presents greater risk of exposure or release. Included are requirements for working in hoods, encapsulating samples, scrubbing gasses that flow over particulates, labeling, transport packaging, and waste handling. — Andrew Ackerman 3-36 CHI-CHANG KAO AMONG FIVE NAMED APS FELLOWS December 28, 2006 Five scientists at BNL – Tim Hallman, Chi-Chang Kao, Dmitri Kharzeev, William Morse, and Yimei Zhu – were named Fellows of the American Physical Society (APS), a professional organization with more than 45,000 members. Election to APS Fellowship is limited to no more than one half of one percent of its membership in a given year, and election for this honor indicates recognition by scientific peers for outstanding contributions to physics. The Brookhaven scientists were among 212 Fellows elected in 2006. Clockwise from left, Dmitri Kharzeev, Tim Hallman, William Morse, Yimei Zhu, and Chi-Chang Kao Kao, Chair of the NSLS, was recognized “For his many contributions to resonant elastic and inelastic x-ray scattering techniques and their application to materials physics.” During his research at the NSLS, Kao has developed new x-ray scattering techniques to study the electronic and magnetic properties of magnetic and strongly correlated materials. These techniques have led to better understanding of the Earth’s interior and materials properties under extreme conditions. Kao earned his Ph.D. in chemical engineering from Cornell University in 1988. Shortly after, he joined BNL as a postdoctoral research assistant at the NSLS. He was promoted to senior physicist in 2001. Kao is also an adjunct professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Stony Brook University. — Kendra Snyder
