Research abstract
The number of products that contain nanomaterials and the associated risk of exposure to DoD personnel is rapidly increasing. This project will identify factors that influence the generation, dispersion, and deposition of nanomaterials in the workplace. The risk of exposure via inhalation or dermal contact will be quantified for benchmark nanomaterials with well defined physical and chemical characteristics. The effectiveness of personal protective equipment for protecting workers from various release events will be evaluated. A comprehensive guide for workers who handle and use nanomaterials will be prepared to assess, avoid, and abate the adverse health and environmental impacts of nanomaterials.
