NANOPARTICLE MEASUREMENTS
Nanotechnology has emerged and been hailed as the next industrial revolution. However, the occupational health risks of using or manufacturing nanoparticles are not clearly understood. Subsequently, workers may be exposed to these nanoparticles through means of inhalation at levels that greatly exceed ambient concentrations. TSI makes a variety of instruments for toxicologists and industrial hygienists to measure the total number concentration and surface area of nanoparticles.
