Engineering controls are essential in minimizing occupational exposure to nanomaterials. These include:
Fume Hoods: Used to capture and exhaust airborne nanoparticles. Containment Systems: Enclosures that prevent the release of nanoparticles into the work environment. Ventilation Systems: Designed to dilute and remove airborne contaminants.
Implementing these controls effectively reduces the risk of exposure and enhances workplace safety.
