Respiratory protection against airborne nanoparticles: a review
@article{Shaffer2009RespiratoryPA, title={Respiratory protection against airborne nanoparticles: a review}, author={R. Shaffer and S. Rengasamy}, journal={Journal of Nanoparticle Research}, year={2009}, volume={11}, pages={1661-1672} }
As a precautionary measure, it is often recommended that workers take steps to reduce their exposure to airborne nanoparticles through the use of respiratory protective devices. The purpose of this study was to provide a review and analysis of the research literature and current recommendations on respirators used for protection against nanoparticles. Key research findings were that studies with particles as small as 4 nm have shown that conventional single-fiber filtration theory can be used… Expand
