Abstract/Summary
The principal aim of this study is to evaluate the risk for workers due to exposure to non-controlled emission of nanoparticules in industry. This information will be contributing to safer work conditons and to establish rules and strategies for protection in case of accident. The project successfully finished the pilot phase. Main phase currently awaits funding.
