hazard identification

What Are the Key Steps in Hazard Identification?

1. Literature Review: Gathering existing information on the toxicity and behavior of specific nanomaterials.
2. Material Characterization: Understanding the physical and chemical properties of the nanomaterial, such as size, shape, surface area, and reactivity.
3. Exposure Assessment: Identifying the routes through which humans and the environment may be exposed to nanomaterials, such as inhalation, dermal contact, or ingestion.
4. Data Collection: Compiling data from laboratory experiments, field studies, and computational models to assess potential hazards.
5. Risk Identification: Determining the potential health effects, such as cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, and ecotoxicity of the nanomaterial in question.
