FAQ: Responsibility and legislation

Q: Are there any general guidelines to follow, since there are no occupational exposure limits specific for nanomaterials?A: The precautionary principle should always be applied as long as the specific toxicity is not fully evaluated and as long as there are no nanospecific occupational exposure limits. This means that companies/industries that produce or handle nanomaterial should apply a high le

FAQ: Exposure

Q: How is nanoparticle exposure measured?A: The traditional exposure assessment is focused on wide size fractions, e.g., all particles below 10 μm (PM10) or 2.5 μm (PM2.5) in ambient measurements, or below 4 μm (respirable fraction) in workplace exposure  assessment. These measurements determine the total mass concentration of the respective particle size fraction. The mass concentration scales wi
