| Summary: |
As part of the European Commission’s Sixth Framework Programme (FP6), Nanosafe2 is an EU integrated project among seven countries to establish processes to detect, track, and characterize nanoparticles. These dissemination reports are very brief, simplified presentations of study results. They investigate the efficacy of conventional protective devices (such as fibrous filter media) against nanoaersols, the explosivity and flammability of nanopowders, measuring engineered nanoparticles in the workplace, estimating nanoaerosol explosion risk, nanotoxicology, safe procedures for handling nanoparticles, current regulations and the role of standards, and using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy for monitoring of nanoparticle production processes. Each report is approximately eight pages. |
