In a routine safety evaluation of chemicals included in household products, we found a mixture of azo dyes (CMBA, main component: N-[5-[(2-cyanoethyl) ethylamino]-4-methoxy-2-[(5-nitro-2,1-benzisothiazol -3-yl)azo]-phenyl]acetamide) that…
Based on experience with powders having particle sizes down to the range 1 0.1 ím one might expect that dust clouds from combustible nm-particle powders…
This work deals with the study of ignition and explosion characteristics of nanoparticles. It has been carried out on various powders: zinc, aluminium, carbon blacks.…
Guidance documents for preparing risk assessments, like the guidance for the implementation of REACH, have limited focus on chemical substances in the particulate form and…
In this study, the authors assessed the behaviour of aerosol nanoparticles as a function of time and of selected aerosol chamber and environmental conditions upon…
