AIHce 2015 Nanotechnology Session Looks at Exposure Assessments

A group of speakers discussed nanomaterials and new ways to evaluate and measure their existence in numerous working conditions.

  • Jun 05, 2015

SALT LAKE CITY-- NIOSH representatives kicked off a nanomaterials discussion on June 3 at AIHce 2015, discussing the refinement of the Nanomaterial Emission Assessment Technique into the Nanomaterial Exposure Assessment Technique, otherwise known as NEAT 2.0. This technique was developed to measure nanotechnology emissions in the workplace across a variety of industries.

A second presentation regarding nanomaterials featured a recent graduate of Purdue University who explained his characterizations of nanoparticles that are generated from synthesizing advanced materials. To explore these characterizations, a group of researchers tested a furnace for nanomaterial emissions.

Some of the other topics included: exposure associated with personal protective clothing contaminated with nanoparticles, an evaluation of self-supporting, single-walled carbon nanotube bucky paper sorbents, and a comparison of simulated workplace protection factors offered by N95 and P100 air purifying respirators.

  • The MGC Simple Plus

    The MGC Simple Plus is a simple-to-use, portable multi gas detector that runs continuously for three years without being recharged or routinely calibrated after its initial charge and calibration during manufacturing. The detector reliably tests a worksite’s atmosphere for hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide, oxygen and combustible gases (LEL). Its durability enables the detector to withstand the harshest treatment and environments, hence earning it an IP 68 rating. The MGC Simple Plus is also compatible with a variety of accessories, such as the GCT External Pump. Visit gascliptech.com for more information. Read More

This reduces the risk of accidents and injuries on the job. By ensuring everyone has their gloves readily available, we help promote a culture of safety and efficiency. The Glove Guard® clip is designed to withstand the toughest work environments. Constructed from robust materials made in the USA, it can endure extreme conditions, including harsh weather, and rigorous activities. Read More

  • Safety Shower Test Cart

    The Safety Shower Test Cart speeds up and simplifies emergency shower tests, ensures you stay in compliance with OSHA regulations, and significantly reduces testing costs. With 7 unique features, the cart makes testing easy, effective, and efficient. You can test water clarity, flow, temperature, and spread—all at the same time! Most safety shower testing kits create a mess, take too much time to use, and don't fully help you stay in compliance with OSHA & ANSI standards. Transform the way you test emergency showers with Green Gobbler Safety. Read More
