Nanotechnology – Aerosol generation for air exposure studies of nano-objects and their aggregates and agglomerates (NOAA)

This standard describes a method for aerosol generation of nanomaterials and clusters of agglomerated and loose nanomaterials (NOAAs) for air exposure studies at the animal and in vitro levels test. To assist in the selection of appropriate exposure generators in the design of toxicological studies and describe the characteristics of the aerosol generation method. including the benefits and limitations of each method. This standard does not provide guidelines for the specific aerosolization of nanomaterials.
