Exposure assessment of engineered nanomaterials in the workplace

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Nanotechnology is a rapidly growing field and numerous products containing engineered nanomaterials
are already in the market. With the increasing use of engineered nanomaterials, it is expected to increase the exposures
to nanomaterials in the workplace. However, the researches on the exposure assessment of nanomaterials to humans
and the environment are just a beginning step, as the nanotechnology industries are expanding. Questionnaire surveys
conducted by various organizations reveal that many nanotechnology companies are searching for information on exposure
measurement for the protection of workers who handle nanomaterials. We analyze the trends of researches on
the occupational exposure measurement of engineered nanomaterials and investigate the methodologies of exposure
assessment recommended by the related working groups. This work is expected to fill the gaps in knowledge on the
exposure assessment of nanomaterials.
