Normative

At present, we measure the protection factor of PPE by a flame photometer according standards infunction of each PPE (disposable masks, reusable masks, non-ventilated suits, ventilated suits, etc.)

GUIDEnano 30 month meeting– 14-15th June 2016 Barcelona

• Create and validate a new protocols adapted to nanoparticle measurement• Correlation between flame photometer and CPC-SMPS measurement• Evaluate Protection Factor of some existing PPEs (used by industrial partners)

Objective

Nanosafe, 7 – 10th November 2016, Grenoble

Background

State of the art

• If the NM is used in form of dust, the use

of disposable suits type 5 is proposed.

• If the NM is used in a colloidal solution,

the use of type 4 or 6 is suggested.

• In general, is concluded that nonwoven clothes offer better protection than

woven fabrics

Conclusions

Nanosafe, 7 – 10th November 2016, Grenoble

The efficiency of protective clothing against nanoparticles has not been explored widely

Many types of personal protective suits and gloves have been tested against a nanoaerosol of NaCl

Flame photometer vs CPC-SMPS comparison

New protocol adapted to measure in number

Efficiency offered by the different type of suits was upper 95% in all cases

The protection achieved by the distinct suits depended, mainly, on the fitting to the body
