The ExproNano project aims at providing a methodology for assessing exposure to nanoparticules (manufactured or not) that combines both an aerosol measurement component (via real time aerosol measurements and aerosol sampling) and a work task…

In 2014, French ministries were alerted by local authorities following the identification of naturally occurring actinolite in aggregates used in road paving. In the environment, actinolite, as well as others amphiboles, are present in both…

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…

Aromatic hydrocarbons (toluene, styrene, xylenes, ethylbenzene …) are among the most widely used chemicals in industry. Some of their urinary acid metabolites are classically used to assess the occupational exposure of workers to these solvents…

For a long time, evaluation of exposure to chemical compounds was limited to measuring merely the volatile fraction of the compounds and thus to exposure by inhalation. However, the use of semi-volatile products and other particular substances…
