Standard Guide for Handling Unbound Engineered Nanoscale Particles in Occupational Settings

Importancia y uso:

5.1 This guide is intended for use by entities involved in the handling of UNP in occupational settings. This guide covers handling principles and techniques that may be applied, as appropriate, to the variety of UNP materials and handling settings. These settings include research and development activities, material manufacturing, material use, processing, and disposal. This guide may also be used by entities that receive materials or articles containing or comprising nanoscale particles fixed upon or within a matrix (that is, bound nanoscale particles), but whose own processes or use may reasonably be expected to cause such particles to become unbound. This guide generally does not address actions related to potential environmental exposures, nor to exposures potentially arising at disposal by other end-uses.
