Workplace exposure - Assessment of exposure by inhalation of nano-objects and their aggregates and agglomerates
This European Standard provides guidelines to assess workplace exposure by inhalation of nano-objects and their aggregates and agglomerates (NOAA). It contains guidance on the sampling and measurement strategies to adopt and methods for data evaluation.
While the focus of this document is on the assessment of nano-objects, the approach is also applicable for exposure to the associated aggregates and agglomerates, i.e. NOAA, and particles released from nanocomposites and nano-enabled products.
Exposition am Arbeitsplatz - Beurteilung der inhalativen Exposition gegenüber Nanoobjekten und deren Aggregaten und Agglomeraten
Diese Europäische Norm bietet eine Leitlinie zur Beurteilung der Exposition durch Einatmen gegenüber Nanoobjekten und deren Aggregaten und Agglomeraten (NOAA). Sie enthält Leitlinien zu anzuwendenden Probenahme- und Messstrategien sowie Verfahren zur Datenauswertung.
Obgleich der Schwerpunkt dieses Dokuments auf der Beurteilung von Nanoobjekten liegt, gilt diese Herangehensweise auch für die Exposition gegenüber zugehörigen Aggregaten und Agglomeraten, d. h. "NOAA", sowie für Partikel, die von Nanokompositen und nanotechnologischen Produkten freigesetzt werden.
Exposition sur les lieux de travail - Évaluation de l’exposition par inhalation aux nano-objets et à leurs agrégats et agglomérats
La présente Norme européenne fournit des lignes directrices pour évaluer l’exposition par inhalation aux nano-objets et à leurs agrégats et agglomérats (NOAA) sur les lieux de travail. Elle contient des recommandations relatives aux stratégies d’échantillonnage et de mesurage à adopter, ainsi que des méthodes pour l’évaluation des données.
Bien que le présent document soit essentiellement axé sur l’évaluation des nano-objets, l’approche est également applicable à l’exposition aux agrégats et agglomérats associés, c’est-à-dire aux NOAA, et aux particules libérées des nanocomposites et des produits obtenus par nanotechnologies.
Izpostavljenost na delovnem mestu - Ocena izpostavljenosti pri vdihavanju nanopredmetov ter njihovih agregatov in aglomeratov
Ta evropski standard opisuje različne stopnje ocene izpostavljenosti pri vdihavanju nanopredmetov ter njihovih agregatov in aglomeratov (NOAA) ter vrednotenje rezultatov v obliki samostojne ocene ali vdelano v okvir večstopenjskega pristopa. Medtem ko se ta evropski standard osredotoča na oceno nanopredmetov, se pristop uporablja za izpostavljenost povezanim aglomeratom in agregatom, tj. nanopredmetom ter njihovim agregatom in aglomeratom, ter delcem, ki se sproščajo iz nanokompozitov in izdelkov, ki jih omogoča nanotehnologija.

Introduction
The rapidly advancing field of nanotechnologies and concern on its potential impact on occupational
health and safety has initiated efforts by Standardization bodies to provide guidance how health and
safety issues can be appropriately addressed. ISO has published a series of documents, which focus on
various aspects of exposure and risk assessment and risk mitigation, for example, ISO/TR 12885 [1],
ISO/TS 12901-1 [2], ISO/TS 12901-2 [3].
