Nanoparticle research provides an exciting path forward for numerous industries, but not without risk to health and safety. In this webinar, we will address the basics of nanoparticles and best practices for containment using ventilated safety enclosures. We will also take a look at a method for safely testing nanotechnology hoods, and address common questions such as:

Are there unknown nanoparticle risks in my research environment?

and

Will my current hoods appropriately contain nanoparticulates?

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the containment challenges associated with nanoparticles
• Learn how to select containment enclosures that are appropriate for nanoparticles
• Learn about specialized industrial hygiene testing methods for the detection of nanoparticles
