Abstract

The authors consider critically some inconsistencies of applying the officially established standards for inorganic dust permissible concentrations in ambient air to amorphous silica nanoparticles-containing industrial aerosols and, relying upon their previously published experimental results, propose a feasible temporary solution to this problem for the purposes of hygienic monitoring.
