The Overview of Methods of Nanoparticle Exposure Assessment

  • Protocol
  • First Online:
Nanotoxicity

Part of the book series: Methods in Molecular Biology ((MIMB,volume 1894))

Abstract

Nanotechnology is now widely used in industry as well as consumer products, such as electrical devices, cosmetics, medicine, and household appliances. In the life cycle of the nano-products, including production, use, and disposal, nanoparticles may be released to the environment. However, there is no current consensus on the best method for evaluating and characterizing nanoparticle exposure. Therefore, this chapter focuses on the nanoparticle exposure assessment methods and sampling techniques.
