Selective detector of airborne nanoparticles

airborne nanoparticles

As more nanoparticles are produced industrially, there is a greater risk of accidental release or chronic exposure of workers to engineered nanoparticles. Robust and reliable technologies are needed for the detection and measurement of airborne nanoparticles in order to protect the health of individuals and safeguard the environment. SAFEAIR, a unique solution to minimise nanoparticle exposure, has been developed by Cilas and Ineris. Based on laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy, this real-time selective detector of airborne nanoparticles allows air quality to be monitored by measuring the concentration of airborne nanoparticles, followed by the differentiation of engineered nanoparticles from those naturally present in the air. Chemical analysis allows particle concentrations from 2μg/m3 with sizes between 10 nm and 10 μm to be measured.
