Product testing & simulations

Nanoparticles have been implemented more frequently in commercial products. During the life cycle of these products, nanoparticle release can be caused by actions such as folding, breaking, drilling, cutting, sanding etc. At VITO we assess the safety of these products by simulating treatments in our particle-free test chambers combined with aerosol measurements.
