Why is Dilution Ventilation Important in Nanotechnology?
The unique properties of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) can pose significant risks to human health if inhaled. Due to their small size, nanoparticles can easily become airborne and be inhaled, leading to potential respiratory issues. Effective dilution ventilation is essential in nanotechnology laboratories to reduce the concentration of airborne nanoparticles, thereby minimizing exposure.
