To minimize cross contamination, several strategies can be employed:
Containment: Using enclosed systems and containment strategies can help prevent the release of nanomaterials into the environment. Cleanroom environments: Working in controlled cleanroom environments with stringent protocols can significantly reduce contamination risks. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Proper use of PPE, including gloves, masks, and lab coats, can prevent the transfer of nanoparticles from one area to another. Regular Cleaning and Maintenance: Frequent cleaning of equipment and workspaces can help remove residual nanoparticles and reduce the risk of contamination.
