Working with nanoparticles: exposure registry and health monitoring

Nanoparticles are particles with physical size limits of between 1 and 100 nanometres. It has long been known that workers can be exposed to such miniscule particles. For example welding work, or the combustion of diesel fuel in engines can acquired the ability to assemble and produce very small pieces of material with well deficause particles of this size to be unintentionally released into the air (nanoparticles generated by work processes). A new development is that humans have recently ned physical size limits. These engineered nanoparticles exhibit special physical and chemical properties, which offer the prospect of new or improved applications. The present report addresses these engineered nanoparticles (hereafter referred to as ‘nanoparticles’).
