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…

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 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…

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…

Because of their ability to measure short-term fluctuations, photometers are increasingly used for real-time aerosol characterization in workplace atmospheres. Despite the need for a custom calibration factor to obtain more accurate mass…

In the context of a pre-normative research project under the mandate 461 between the European Commission and CEN, the vortex shaker method was developed and evaluated in the dustiness investigation of 25 bulk nanomaterials powders that include…
