Monitor for detecting and assessing exposure to airborne nanoparticles
Abstract An important safety aspect of the workplace environment concerns the severity of its air pollution with nanoparticles (NP; \100 nm) and ultrafine particles (UFP; \300 nm). Depending on their size and chemical nature, exposure to these particles through inhalation can be hazardous because of their intrinsic ability to deposit in the deep lung regions and the possibility to subsequently ...

The invisible fine dust
Air is lifeblood. Daily we inhale approximately 15.000 liter. Still, the air contains invisible pollutants, which vary in its composition and concentration depending on the location. Especially the respirable particles with a diameter of less than 2.5 µm (PM 2.5) were considered to be particularly dangerous. According to a current study conducted by the Max Planck Society, worldwide 3.3 ...
