A laboratory comparison between various methods for real-time measurements of lung deposited surface area (LDSA) using spherical particles and powder dust with specific surface area ranging from 0,03 to 112 m2/g was conducted. Based on these…

Due to their physical and chemical properties, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are among the most promising nanomaterials in terms of industrial use. In order to assess their toxicological properties, inhalation experiments performed in laboratory…

Due to the growing use of nanoparticles in industrial processes, the number of workers potentially exposed is increasing while the toxicological effects of these compounds have not been fully characterized yet. Because inhalation represents…

The number of workers potentially exposed to nanoparticles (NPs) in industrial processes is constantly increasing, even though the toxicological effects of these compounds have not yet been fully characterized. The hazards associated with…

Due to their physical and chemical properties, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are among the most promising nanomaterials in terms of industrial use. In order to assess their toxicological properties, inhalation experiments performed on laboratory…

Handling CNTs powders is a plausible scenario over the entire life-cycle for CNTs. However limited exposure data exist today. In this context, there is no doubt that dustiness data can be of great interest for e.g, control banding or exposure modeling…

Due to the growing use of nanoparticles in industrial processes, the number of workers potentially exposed is increasing while the toxicological properties of these compounds are not fully known. Since these particles can be aerosolised, the…

Noting that a new version of the cup was now commercialised and the assumption that the use of viscous liquids, not evaporating, could increase the sampling duration and modify the physical performances, the objective of this work was to characterize…

The “dustiness” of nanomaterial powders has been tested using several different quantification methods that all involve the application of a given mechanical energy level to a particular amount of powder, whereby nano-objects and their agglomerates…

The CIP 10-M personal sampler is used to assess worker exposure to airborne particles by collecting them in a rotating metal cup containing a few milliliters of a collection fluid. Although used by many teams in the world, the particle-collection…
