Exposure Assessment Based Recommendations to Improve Nanosafety at Nanoliposome Production Sites

Table 1

Factors to be considered in exposure assessment as enlisted by NF EN 689, 1995.

Description Points to be addressed

Hazard(a) Number of sources emitting pollution
(b) Size of the production in relation to production capacity
(c) Size of each of the sources
(d) Type and location of each source

Probability of exposure(a) Dispersion of pollutants by air movement
(b) Proximity to sources/confinement barrier
(c) Time spent in a location

Preventive measures(a) Type and efficacy of evacuation and ventilation systems
(b) Personal working habits
