Whilst the global players in industry are rapidly moving forward to take advantage of the new
opportunities and prospects offered by nanotechnologies, it is imperative that such …

This investigation aims to explore determinants of exposure to particle size-specific welding
fume. Area sampling of ultrafine particles (UFP) was performed at 33 worksites in parallel …

In the past few years, an increasing number of studies on workplace air measurements on
manufactured nano-materials and-objects have been published. Most of the studies had a …

The present paper summarizes the outcome of the discussions at the First International
Scientific Workshop on Harmonization of Strategies to Measure and Analyze Exposure to …

We investigated airborne and internal exposure to manganese (Mn) and iron (Fe) among
welders. Personal sampling of welding fumes was carried out in 241 welders during a shift …

Quantum yields for the products CH3CHO, CO2 and CH3COOH in the 350 nm
photodecomposition of pyruvic acid are 0.48±0.01, 1.27±0.18 and 0.14, respectively, as …

Handbook of Nanosafety: Measurement, Exposure and Toxicology, written by leading
international experts in nanosafety, provides a comprehensive understanding of engineered …

Manufactured nano-objects, agglomerates, and aggregates (NOAA) may have adverse
effect on human health, but little is known about occupational risks since actual estimates of …

The aim of this article is to present an overview of salient issues of exposure,
characterisation and hazard assessment of nanomaterials as they emerged from the …

Preliminary results of inventories of exposure scenarios for nanomaterials have indicated
possible dermal exposure. Within the NANOSH project focused on occupational safety and …
