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…

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…

The CIP 10 is a personal aerosol sampler designed to sample conventional dust or specific occupational inorganic or organic substances such as crystalline silica, isocyanates or mycotoxins. It is widespread used, especially in France. Within…

Nanomaterials are full of promise in fields as varied as healthcare, agrifood, energy, materials, and transport. Research for developing them is therefore very active and the accompanying economic stakes are considerable. The data relating to…

Performance of the µ-Cathia aerosol sampler versus conventional thoracic health-related aerosol fraction
The paper deals with a sampling efficiency measurement of the personal aerosol sampler µ-Cathia. Results of the experimental efficiency…

Parallel Particle Impactor (PPI) samples the thoracic health-related aerosol fraction at 2 L/min flow rate for the assessment of workers’ personal exposure. The PPI sampler was laboratory tested and the resulting sampling efficiency curve was…
