NANOSPHERE AND NANOCABLE SAFETY

Carbon-based nanomaterials are not an entirely new material. They
have been found to be in substantial quantities in nature. However, in
purified states, there is no experience-based database of the potential
environmental and workplace hazards potentially associated with long
or short-term exposure.

As is typical for any new material family, there is substantial
controversy surrounding the question of risks of exposure. JenLaur
Ltd.'s policy is to actively support all of those programs that are
presently in place to study the effects of these materials in the near and
long terms.

JenLaur Ltd. is involved in North Carolina State University's
newly-established Federal EPA study on Nano-Carbon and its
derivatives. We will continue to participate actively in all such programs
as they become available. In that most of our materials are available in
bulk quantity samples (crystallites), that are, in themselves, not
nano-scale, we can provide safer handling protocols for our materials
than those who ship gas-phase produced metallofullerenes.
