Textile products and nanotechnologies - Guidance on tests to simulate nanoparticle release - Skin exposure

The effects of synthetic nanoparticles on human health and the environment are still poorly understood
and therefore uncertain. In particular, it is unclear in which areas nanoparticles-dose caused negative
effects in the organism or in the environment (unknown dose-response relationship). The underlying
toxicological mechanisms and possible effects of nanoparticle exposure over long periods of time are
poorly understood.
In product advertisements on the Internet and in reports in international journals, especially the
functional properties of “nanotextiles” are described. The type of integration of the nanoparticles in
textiles is often described only sparsely. Therefore, the present document is based primarily on
research studies that include information on the integration of the nanoparticles in the textile material.
The purpose of the present document is to give some guidance on tests to nanoparticle release. The
determination of the release of nanoparticles could be performed either through quantification by
chemical analysis (5.1), or by determining the linting (5.2), for example.

Leitlinien für Messverfahren für unterschiedliche Aufnahmewege für Nanopartikel - Hautaufnahme

Produits textiles et nanotechnologies - Guide d'essais de simulation de relargage de nanoparticules - Exposition à la peau

Les effets des nanoparticules synthétiques sur la santé humaine et l’environnement restent mal connus et sont donc incertains. En particulier, les effets négatifs des doses de nanoparticules sur l’organisme ou l’environnement (relation dose-effet inconnue) ne sont pas clairement établis. Les mécanismes toxicologiques sous-jacents et les possibles effets de l’exposition aux nanoparticules sur de longues périodes sont mal compris.
Certaines publicités de produits sur Internet et plusieurs rapports de publications internationales décrivent notamment les propriétés fonctionnelles des « nanotextiles ». En général, très peu d’informations sont fournies sur la façon dont les nanoparticules ont été intégrées dans les textiles. Par conséquent, le présent document est essentiellement fondé sur des études de recherche livrant des informations sur l’intégration des nanoparticules dans le matériau textile.
Le présent document a pour objectif de fournir des orientations pour la réalisation d’essais de relargage de nanoparticules. Ce relargage de nanoparticules pourrait par exemple être déterminé par une analyse chimique de quantification (5.1) ou par un essai de peluchage (5.2).

Tekstilni izdelki in nanotehnologije - Napotki za preskuse simulacije sproščanja nanodelcev - Izpostavljenost kože

Učinki sintetičnih nanodelcev na zdravje človeka in okolje so še vedno slabo razumljeni in zato negotovi. Še posebej nejasno je, na katerih področjih je odmerek nanodelcev povzročil negativne učinke v organizmu ali okolju (neznano razmerje med odzivom in odmerkom). Osnovni toksikološki mehanizmi in možni učinki izpostavljenosti nanodelcem za daljša časovna obdobja so slabo razumljeni.
V oglasih za izdelke v internetu in v poročilih v mednarodnih revijah so opisane predvsem funkcionalne lastnosti »nanotkanin«. Vrsta integracije nanodelcev v
tkanine je pogosto opisana le pomanjkljivo. Ta dokument zato temelji v glavnem na raziskovalnih študijah, ki vključujejo informacije o integraciji nanodelcev v tekstilni material.
Namen dokumenta je podati nekaj napotkov za preskuse sproščanja nanodelcev. Ugotavljanje
sproščanja nanodelcev se lahko izvede na primer s kvantifikacijo s
kemijsko analizo (5.1) ali z ugotavljanjem puščanja vlaken (5.2).

4 Nanoparticles in textile products
4.1 Textile manufacturing process
Various nanotechnologies can be used to produce “nanotextiles”.
The nanoparticles are:
a) integrated into the fibres, or
b) applied on the fibre surface (e.g. as a finish, a coating).
The present document is intended to clarify nanotextile manufacturing processes and application areas.
4.2 Application areas and products
Nanotechnology in the development of new materials in the textile industry is used:
• to improve existing functionality, or
• to produce a textile material with entirely new properties.
Foremost among the applications currently feasible are, in particular dirt and/or water-repellent and
antibacterial textiles and, although they are as yet produced on a very small scale, textiles which give UV
radiation protection and so-called “cosmetotextiles” (e.g. ladies tights) with woven-in nano-capsules
containing special body care substances. Bullet-proof vests containing carbon nanotubes are also
currently available, as are heat isolating and moisture-absorbent textiles.
Table 1 gives an overview of nanomaterials in relation to the possible properties of the “nanotextiles”.
