TL;DR: The increasing complexity of robots is described and a number of recommendations for the practice of safe occupational robotics are proposed.

TL;DR: This paper addresses five areas to help focus action to protect workers: review of the current evidence on the carcinogenic potential of CNTs; role of physical and chemical properties related to cancer development; CNT doses associated with genotoxicity in vitro and in vivo; workplace exposures to CNT; and specific risk management actions needed to protect Workers.

TL;DR: The main features of reconstructed pristine quartz surfaces are two-membered rings formed from bridged siloxy and silyl sites, a stable site complex with geminal positively charged tricoordinated and negatively charged unicoordinate oxygen atoms revealed on the (112) surface, and charged nonbridged sil oxygen/silyl Sites, which are more stable than radical siloxy/sILYl sites.

TL;DR: An association was found between the reported haemolytic activity and modeled densities of surface geminal (but not single) silanol groups on several silica polymorphs, suggesting a new view of aerosol toxicity based on the estimation of surface site densities.

TL;DR: High-quality evidence is found that potential exposure is most frequently due to handling tasks, that workers are mostly exposed to micro-sized agglomerated NPs, and that engineering controls considerably reduce workers' exposure.
