How to Conduct Risk Assessments for Nanomaterials?
Risk assessments for nanomaterials should include: - Identification of Hazards: Determining the physical and chemical properties of the nanomaterials. - Exposure Assessment: Evaluating the potential routes of exposure (inhalation, ingestion, dermal). - Risk Characterization: Combining hazard and exposure information to characterize the risk. - Control Measures: Implementing measures to control exposure, such as engineering controls, administrative controls, and PPE.
