A campaign to measure exposure to hexavalent chromium compounds was carried out in France by the seven CARSAT chemistry laboratories, CRAMIF laboratory, and INRS over the 2010–2013 period. The survey included 99 companies involved in various…

It is well known that the particle size distribution of an aerosol of nanoparticles can quickly change by self-coagulation, transport and wall deposition. Although these physical phenomena are important for industrial applications, they…

Industrial interest in nanoparticles leads to concerns about their significant presence in workplaces. Their increased use may have particular consequences in terms of occupational hygiene when considering a potentially hazardous nano-structured…

This article focuses on the assessment of a model that allows tracking the dynamics of an aerosol in two different cases: first for microparticles (with a mean size of 10 micrometers) in a ventilated chamber for evaluating advection, diffusion…

This paper is devoted to the modeling of the dynamics of nano-aerosols under Brownian motion and turbulence effects. An Eulerian point of view is considered through a population balance equation which is solved in a differential–algebraic…

This paper introduces and evaluates a formulation for the modeling of transport and wall deposition of aerosols, written in terms of moments of the particle size distribution (PSD). This formulation allows coupling the moment methods with computational…

This paper evaluates the ability of a CFD-QMOM modeling approach to predict the dynamics of the particle size distribution (PSD) of airborne non-spherical nanoparticles. The experimental case of a small chamber ventilated by a steady turbulent…

A prior study on the effectiveness of collective protective devices in protecting against a nanometric pollutant led to confinement testing methods and to the establishment of the predominant influence of air flow on confinement. In order…
