Popis: Safe(r) by design efforts have gone into formalizing and standardizing the development process of nanomaterials through a life cycle approach (i.e. from synthesis to use and end-of-life). This study took aims to improve the development of safe-by-design of nanomaterials by surface modification. The initial work involved the evaluation of release by performing dustiness tests of nanostructured bulk powders. The dustiness potential of a powder can be defined as its propensity to emit aerosol particles during powder handling operations, e.g. dumping, stirring, pouring etc. Indeed, recent studies show that the determination of the dustiness index could be considered as a good indicator of the release and exposure to particles (Ribalta et al., 2019). Secondly, it identified certain physical properties of these powders that could correlate with the evolution of their Dustiness indices.
