Public award description
THERMOPHORETIC PARTICLE SAMPLER OF INCREASING CONCERN IS EXPOSURE TO ENGINEERED NANOPARTICLES (ENP) THAT ARE SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR USE IN THE NANOTECHNOLOGY SECTOR. IDENTIFYING ENP AND QUANTIFYING THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS TO HUMAN EXPOSURE ARE IMPORTANT FROM THE STANDPOINTS OF SOURCE ATTRIBUTION AND RISK ASSESSMENT. EFFECTIVE ASSESSMENT OF NANOPARTICLE EXPOSURES REQUIRES DETAILED CHARACTERIZATION OF THE AEROSOL. THESE TPSS USE THERMOPHORETIC FORCE TO COLLECT NANOPARTICLES ONTO A STANDARD TEM (TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPE) GRID. THE GRID IS SUBSEQUENTLY ANALYZED USING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY TECHNIQUES TO CHARACTERIZE AND SPECIATE THE PARTICLES. THIS WILL BE USED IN THE MPCRF FACILITY
