Developing Practices for Safe Handling of Nanoparticles and Nanomaterials in a Development-Stage Enterprise: A Practical Guide for Research and Development Organizations

Abstract

There is a need for well thought-out procedures to be developed for synthesizing nanomaterials for associated industries. In academia, where the quantity involved for these nanomaterials is usually small, with limited exposure potential, relative risk is likely unquantifiable. We have generated various protocols with different developmental phases in our industry. These steps involve aerosol monitoring, efficient filters, and enclosures. These guidelines could be utilized by numerous start-ups and scaling-up nanomaterials associated industries.
