Abstract:Dustiness is a key parameter describing the ability of powder materials to generate dust during agitation. The main goal of this work was to generate and assess the scientific basis for the validation and applicability of 6 dustiness methods to nanomaterials, and development of a subsequent OECD testing guideline. Six dustiness methods (rotating drum, small rotating drum, continuous drop, vortex shaker, fluidizer and venturi) were subjected to an intra- and inter-laboratory comparison (ILC) in which 15 interna… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
