DHHS (NIOSH) Publication No. 2021–112 DOI: https://doi.org/10.26616/NIOSHPUB2021112 May 2021 ii NIOSH CIB 70 • Health Effects of Occupational Exposure to Silver Nanomaterials Foreword When the U.S. Congress passed the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (Public Law 91‒596), it established the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). Through the Act, Congress charged NIOSH with recommending occupational safety and health standards and describing exposure limits that are safe for various periods of employ- ment. These recommendations include but are not limited to the exposures at which no workers will suffer diminished health, functional capacity, or life expectancy because of their work experience. The growing use in commerce of nanomaterials (materials with one or more dimension smaller than about 100 nm) has resulted in increased awareness and understanding of the associated potential hazards. Since the early 2000s, NIOSH has been assessing and address- ing the potential occupational safety and health effects of high-volume nanomaterials, in- cluding silver nanomaterials. Elemental silver has been in commerce for centuries. In 1988 NIOSH adopted a recommended exposure limit (REL) for total silver of 10 micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m3) as an 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA) concentration to protect workers from developing argyria (bluish-gray pigmentation to the skin and mucous mem- branes) and argyrosis (bluish-gray pigmentation to the eyes). The previous authoritative assessments of occupational exposure to silver did not account for particle size. Recent studies in animals have demonstrated that biologic activity and potential adverse health effects are related to particle size. Adverse health effects of nanoscale silver particles, such as early stage lung inflammation and liver hyperplasia, have been observed in rats fol- lowing inhalation exposure. NIOSH considers these responses of pulmonary inflammation and liver hyperplasia to be relevant to workers and estimated the risks to workers based on these animal data. This led NIOSH to determine that it is reasonable and prudent to estab- lish a REL for nanoscale silver. The NIOSH REL for silver nanomaterials (≤100 nm primary particle size) is 0.9 μg/m3 as an airborne respirable 8-hour TWA concentration. In addition, NIOSH continues to recommend a REL of 10 μg/m3 as an 8-hour TWA concentration for to- tal silver (metal dust, fume, and soluble compounds) as Ag. NIOSH further recommends the use of workplace exposure assessments, engineering controls, safe work procedures, training and education, and established medical surveillance approaches to protect workers. NIOSH recommends that employers disseminate this information to workers and customers and requests that professional and trade associations and labor organizations inform their members about the potential hazards of occupational exposure to silver nanomaterials. NIOSH appreciates the time and effort of the expert peer, stakeholder, and public reviewers whose comments and input strengthened this document. John Howard, M.D. Director, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Centers for Disease Control and Prevention NIOSH CIB 70 • Health Effects of Occupational Exposure to Silver Nanomaterials iii Abstract Nanoscale silver particles are some of the most widely used nanomaterials in commerce, with numerous uses in consumer and medical products. Workers who produce or use silver nanomaterials are potentially exposed to those materials in the workplace. Previous author- itative assessments of occupational exposure to silver did not account for particle size. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) assessed potential health risk from exposure to silver nanomaterials by evaluating more than 100 studies of silver nanomaterials in animals or cells. In studies that involved human cells, silver nanomaterials were associated with toxicity (cell death and DNA damage) that varied according to the size of the particles. In animals exposed to silver nanomaterials by inhalation or other routes of exposure, silver tissue concentrations were elevated in all organs tested. Exposure to silver nanomaterials in animals was associated with decreased lung function, inflamed lung tis- sue, and histopathological (microscopic tissue) changes in the liver and kidney. In the rela- tively few studies that compared the effects of exposure to nanoscale or microscale silver, nanoscale particles had greater uptake and toxicity than did microscale particles. To date, researchers have not reported health effects in workers exposed to silver nanomaterials. To assess the risk of health effects from exposure to silver nanoparticles quantitatively, NIOSH evaluated the data from two published subchronic (intermediate duration) inhala- tion studies in rats. These studies revealed lung and liver effects that included early-stage lung inflammation and liver bile duct hyperplasia. NIOSH researchers used the data from these studies to estimate the dose of silver nanoparticles that caused these effects in rats. They then calculated the corresponding dose that would be expected to cause a similar response in humans, accounting for uncertainties in those estimates. From this evaluation, NIOSH derived a recommended exposure limit (REL) for silver nanomaterials (<100 nm primary particle size) of 0.9 micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m3) as an airborne respi- rable 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA) concentration. In addition, NIOSH continues to recommend a REL of 10 µg/m3 as an 8-hour TWA for total silver (metal dust, fume, and soluble compounds, as Ag). NIOSH further recommends the use of workplace exposure assessments, engineering controls, safe work procedures, training and education, and es- tablished medical surveillance approaches to protect workers. iv NIOSH CIB 70 • Health Effects of Occupational Exposure to Silver Nanomaterials Executive Summary Introduction Nanotechnology is an enabling technology involving structures generally defined as having one, two, or three external dimensions in the range of approximately 1 to 100 nanometers (nm) [ISO 2008]. Nanoscale substances may have physical (including morphological) and chemical properties that differ from those of the same substances as larger particles or in bulk [Wijnhoven et al. 2009]; such useful properties may be exploited by manufacturers. One prominent example of these substances is silver nanomaterials, which are used in the manufacture of electronics and textiles and have been used as pigments, catalysts, and an- timicrobials [Wijnhoven et al. 2009; Nowack et al. 2011]. The United States produced an estimated 20 tons of silver nanomaterials in 2010 [Hendren et al. 2011], and an estimated 450–542 tons were produced worldwide in 2014 [Future Markets, Inc. 2013].

A recent study from this laboratory used microsatellite analysis to evaluate OLP for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at loci on three chromosomal arms (3p, 9p, and 17p) (Am J Path 1997;Vol151:Page323-Page327). Loss on these arms is a common event in oral epithelial dysplasia and has been associated with risk of progression of oral leukoplakia to cancer. The data showed that, although dysplastic epithelium demonstrated a high frequency of LOH (40% for mild dysplasia), a significantly lower frequency of LOH was noted in OLP (6%), which is even lower than that in hyperplasia (14%).

This chromatic range is due to the interaction of a number of tissues that compose the mucosal lining: The presence or absence of keratin on the surface epithelium The quantity, superficial or deep location of blood vessels in the subjacent stroma, The existence of lobules of adipocytes, The absence of melanin pigmentation in the basal cell layer of the epithelium. Although oral and perioral pigmentation may be physiologic in nature, particularly in individuals with dark skin complexion, in the course of disease, the oral mucosa and perioral tissues can assume a variety of discolorations, including brown, blue, gray, and black.

  • Gingival Diseases in Children and Adolescents
    8932 Indian Journal of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology, October-December 2020, Vol. 14, No. 4 Gingival Diseases in Children and Adolescents Sulagna Pradhan1, Sushant Mohanty2, Sonu Acharya3, Mrinali Shukla1, Sonali Bhuyan1 1Post Graduate Trainee, 2Professor & Head, 3Professor, Department of Paediatric and Preventive Dentistry, Institute of Dental Sciences, Siksha O Anusandhan (Deemed to be University), Bhubaneswar 751003, Odisha, India Abstract Gingival diseases are prevalent in both children and adolescents. These diseases may or may not be associated with plaques, maybe familial in some cases, or may coexist with systemic illness. However, gingiva and periodontium receive scant attention as the primary dentition does not last for a considerable duration. As gingival diseases result in the marked breakdown of periodontal tissue, and premature tooth loss affecting the nutrition and global development of a child/adolescent, precise identification and management of gingival diseases is of paramount importance. This article comprehensively discusses the nature, spectrum, and management of gingival diseases. Keywords: Gingival diseases; children and adolescents; spectrum, and management.

The purpose of this Pigmentation review mainly focuses on the main oral pigmented lesions, in order to help the clinicians Melanin establish a better approach towards the patients with pigmented oral lesions and to Oral provide thorough knowledge regarding such lesions for patient reassurance, early defini- Diagnosis tive diagnosis and prompt treatment. Methods: Relevant data concerning oral pigmented lesions, clinical features and the possibility of malignant transformation of such lesions were reviewed thoroughly from pubmed literature published in English. Pigmented lesions affecting the skin were not included in our review. Results: Few pigmented lesions have been identified and their tendency to become malignant has been reported in the literature. The oral lesions showing malignant transformation reported were mostly case series. Unfortunately, due to lack of long-term studies, follow ups and randomized controlled studies in this respect it was difficult to draw a statistical analysis. This information is quite crucial for general dental practitioners to improve their understanding regarding oral lesions and to differentiate between normal and diseased conditions, so that they can master the skill of differential diagnosis, definitive diagnosis and prompt treatment.
