Do we know well the risks of occupational exposure to nanomaterials?

Fratertalk is the communication project of Fraternidad-Muprespa directed to its mutual companies and constituted as a virtual space that allows us to talk with the best specialists in prevention, occupational safety, care and promotion of health.
