纳米实验室的安全文化现状及对策

Current situation and measures of safety culture in nano-laboratories

纳米毒理学的研究证明,部分人造纳米材料有一定的毒性,对人的健康与环境有一定的风险。对于长期暴露在纳米环境中的实验室工作人员来讲,纳米材料构成了一定的威胁。鉴于目前对纳米安全的材料毒性检测手段的欠缺和不完备,加强纳米实验室的安全文化建设,提高实验室工作人员的安全意识就显得非常重要。文章结合实证研究的结果,从安全意识文化、安全制度文化和安全物质文化三个方面分析了当前中国纳米实验室的安全现状以及存在的问题,并在此基础上提出了一些应对措施和建议。文章认为,纳米实验室的安全文化建设,不仅关系到纳米实验室工作人员的健康与环境,而且也关系到纳米技术的可持续发展。

Nanotoxicology research demonstrated that some manufactured nanomaterials have toxic effects on human health and environment. For the worker exposed in nanolaboratories, nanomaterials present potential risks. Given the inadequate technologies for testing nanotoxicology, strengthening the safety culture and improving nanotechnology workers＇ safety awareness are very important. Based on the empirical investigation, this paper explores firstly the current safety status in the nano-research laboratory from three dimensions： material culture, institution culture and awareness culture. Secondly, the paper puts forward some corresponding measures and suggestions. Lastly, the paper concludes that the construction of safety culture is not only vital for the health of nanotechnology researchers and the environment, but also important for the sustainable development of nanotechnology.
