Boundary layer separation leads to the formation of a wake region downstream of a worker
in an air flow field. This fundamental phenomenon is responsible in many cases for …

Manual handling of nanoparticles is a fundamental task of most nanomaterial research; such
handling may expose workers to ultrafine or nanoparticles. Recent studies confirm that …

Airborne nanoparticles released during the synthesis of single-walled and multi-walled
carbon nanotubes were measured and characterized. This study reported the field …

Three different tools for personal exposure assessment are presented. They are all able to
consider the local influence of persons in ventilated rooms where concentration gradients …

Tsai et al.(Airborne nanoparticle exposures associated with the manual handling of
nanoalumina and nanosilver in fume hoods. J Nanopart Res 2009; 11: 147–61) found that …

Inhalation exposure to airborne nanoparticles (NPs) has been reported during manual
activities using typical fume hoods. This research studied potential inhalation exposure …

Push-pull ventilation systems provide excellent control of contaminants and harmful gases.
However, since both a push inlet and a pull outlet are used in the push-pull ventilation …

The transportation of gaseous contaminant from a low and moderate low impulse
(momentum< 1 ms− 1) source to the breathing zone was studied in a uniform air stream flow …

To understand the physical mechanisms of the contaminant dispersion and containment
leakage during the ventilation process through a laboratory fume hood, the complicated …

Are you a practicing occupational hygienist wondering how to find a substitute organic
solvent that is safer to use than the hazardous one your company is using? Chapter 6 is your …
