New nanoparticle environmental health and safety database available
Via The Engineer 8/23/05.
From Rice and supported in part by NSF, this database collects
scientific articles researching environmental health and safety
aspects of nanoparticles (read press release). From a librarian point
of view, it leaves a little to be desired. In fact, it might be quite
difficult to find the full text of the article based on the citation
given. A guide to the abbreviations use for journals might be helpful
(hmm, maybe they're using the pubmed ones?). I'd love to see the DOI
and a link to the pubmed record (it does list PMID, though, so you can
find the article that way if you recognize the number). For the
articles on environmental concerns, there's no PMID... Hmm. Don't see
a list of journals referenced or a methodology of how articles are
identified.
Anyway, looks like a good first step and will no doubt be useful to
