The materials at the nanoscale can have different properties compared with same materials at the larger scale. This change in behaviour can be attributed to increased relative surface area and dominance of quantum effects. It has been shown that the nanomaterials can cause adverse effects to human and environmental health. Therefore there is need for developing guidelines for safe use of nanomaterials in the laboratory to minimise exposure to researchers and environment. The purpose of this document is to provide the guidance on proper handling and disposal of nanomaterials (NMs) for personnel involved in activities that entail handling of NMs, in order to minimize risks from exposure to NMs in a laboratory.
与较大尺度的相同材料相比，纳米尺度的材料具有不同的性质。这种行为的变化可以归因于相对表面积的增加和量子效应的主导地位。已经表明，纳米材料会对人类和环境健康造成不利影响。因此，需要制定实验室中安全使用纳米材料的指南，以尽量减少研究人员和环境暴露的风险。本文件的目的是为涉及处理纳米材料的活动的人员提供处理和处置纳米材料的指导，以尽量减少实验室中纳米材料暴露的风险。
