Are risks related to processes?

Four types of processes induce specific risks of contamination for personnel: Gaseous Phase, Vapor Deposition, colloidal synthesis and mechanical attrition.

Vapor deposition.

The nanoparticles are formed on the substrate to which they remain attached and are therefore unlikely to go into suspension during the synthesis. Subsequently, the recovery of materials, their handling and their use, could cause the release of nanoparticles in the work atmosphere.
