TL;DR: An assessment of the current available workplace measurement data using a matrix, which is related to nanomaterials and work processes, shows, that data are available on the likelihood of release and possible exposure and two approaches to derive realistic exposure values are presented.

TL;DR: It can be concluded that in general, significant release of CNTs from products and articles is unlikely except in manufacturing and subsequent processing, tires, recycling, and potentially in textiles.

TL;DR: In this paper, a novel method for quantification of the nanoparticle release into air from surface coatings was developed based on the combination of a defined abrasion process with highly sensitive methods to quantify airborne particle concentration.

TL;DR: Based on a survey of commercial sanding machines, the relevant sanding process parameters were employed for the design of a miniature sanding test setup in a particle-free environment for the quantification of the nanoparticle release into air from surface coatings.

TL;DR: In this paper, the structure of different pyrogenic silica grades has been characterized by static light and X-ray scattering and the diffusional properties were obtained by multi-angle DLS measurements.
