Report Warns of
Aluminum Nanodust Combustibility
[Posted 03/07/2008]
A report written by Swiss, French, and English
researchers with the Nanosafe2 project warns that
combustion mechanisms of aluminum nano particles
“may
lead to potential problems of large scale industrial
storage of such particles.”
Funded by the European Commission, Nanosafe2 is
developing risk assessment and management guidance
for secure industrial production of nanomaterials.
The eight-page Dissemination Report was posted last
week at www.nanosafe.org.
