The design of a containment system is guided by several factors:
Risk Assessment: Understanding the potential hazards associated with the nanomaterials being handled. Material Properties: Considering the physical and chemical properties of the nanoparticles, such as their size, reactivity, and toxicity. Regulatory Requirements: Compliance with local, national, and international safety and environmental regulations. Operational Needs: Ensuring that the system does not hinder productivity or the quality of the nanomaterials.
