Abstract

We built a ‘dustiness tester’similar to the one by Maynard et al. and investigated the dustiness of various kinds of nano-materials, including carbon materials and metal oxides, to evaluate the magnitude of their potential inhalation exposure, differences in dustiness among them, and factors that affect dustiness.
