With the rapid growth of nanotechnology, understanding and controlling exposure to nanomaterials is essential. Nanoparticles have a high surface area to volume ratio, which can make them more reactive and potentially more toxic. Traditional OELs may not be adequate for these materials, necessitating the development of specific OELs for nanoparticles. These limits help mitigate risks such as respiratory issues, cellular damage, and other health concerns that can arise from exposure to nanomaterials.
