A proposed structure for information recording of electron microscopy analysis for the NECID database will be presented. It includes a template for the reporting of the qualitative and descriptive assessment of field air samples and for the…

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…

Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) are among the highest produced nanoparticles in the world today and are increasingly being incorporated into a wide range of construction and domestic products. Production on such a massive scale raises…

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…

Some volatile aromatic solvents have similar or opposite effects to anesthetics in the central nervous system. Like for anesthetics, the mechanisms of action involved are currently the subject of debate. This paper presents an in vivo study…

Outline of reasons and objectives
The sectors and channels for treating Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) have changed considerably in recent years due to the regulatory context and to the development of new technologies. In…

Anaerobic digestion or “methanisation” is the use of microorganisms to break down organic matter under controlled conditions and in the absence of oxygen. In general, the process pursues two recycling-for-energy goals: one by recovering methane…

The propensity of bulk nanomaterials powders to be released as particles, the so called dustiness, is an important consideration for worker exposure and the design and operation of many industrial or research processes. OECD considers that…
