Dustiness test methods for nanomaterials
Journal Title: Podstawy i Metody Oceny Środowiska Pracy - Year 2013, Vol 29, Issue 1
Abstract
This article presents issues associated with standard and alternative dustiness test methods for materials with reference to their size fractions (inhalable, thoracic and respirable) according to standard EN 15051: 2006 (PN-EN 15051: 2006). It discusses the principles of classifying the dustiness of materials determined with the standard or alternative methods. The article also discusses developing methods for testing dustiness for nano-materials, which should embrace both investigations associated with size fractions determined with the gravimetric method and necessary due to the nanospecificity of those materials, i.e., at least determining the number concentration and the size distribution of the nano-objects.
