How Should Nanomaterials be Contained and Ventilated?
Containment and ventilation are critical in preventing the release of nanoparticles into the work environment. Recommended practices include:
- Using fume hoods or glove boxes for procedures that may generate airborne nanoparticles. - Employing high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters in ventilation systems. - Conducting work in enclosed systems whenever possible to minimize exposure.
