2 ENGINEERED NANOMATERIALS IN FINNISH WORKPLACES It is not exactly known how many workers are currently exposed to engineered nanomaterials (ENM) in Finland; exposure to other nanosized particles is more common. The estimated number of enterprises associated with nanotechnologies and ENM exceeded 800 in 2013; marked growth since 2006 when the number was < 40 The estimated number of workers associated with tasks somehow connected to nanotechnologies was about 22,000 in 2013 in Finland Results of individual ENM exposure assessment campaigns exist, but not systematic data of exposure to ENM in Finland; the measured exposures have usually been low in Finnish companies FIOH Stockmann-Juvala 2

3 Industry sectors using ENM in Finland The main areas of the use of ENM include: Paint production, construction industry, production of car tires Cosmetic products: eye liners, sun-block creams, skin lotions Some more exotic applications: Multi-walled carbon nanotubes to produce films for mobile phone and computer screens Nano-diamonds for industrial uses, e.g. for oil lubricants in engines Atomic layer deposition to prevent oxidation of silver jewelry FIOH Stockmann-Juvala 3

9 Use of ENMs in the construction industry Most commonly used NMs Carbon based materials: nanotubes, nanofibers, C 60 fullerene Metal oxide NPs: SiO 2, TiO 2, Fe 2 O 3 Metal NPs: Ag, Cu Main applications Cement based construction materials (12%) Noise reduction and thermal insulation (7%) Surface-coatings (68%) Fire protection Generally, very limited information is supplied on the nanoadditives in the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) of the products.

16 Hierarchy of control (ISO/TS :2012)

17 Best practices for prevention: SCAFFOLD recommendation Avoiding exposure by: Substitution of MNMs by conventional particles or by non hazardous MNMs Confinement of MNMs in the process, product, or matrix Isolation of potentially hazardous tasks and materials Best practice guide for risk prevention: FIOH Stockmann-Juvala 17

18 Best practices for protection Collective protection Personal Protection Exposure register model Best practice guide for risk protection: FIOH Stockmann-Juvala 18

19 Best practices for risk assessment Recommendations for: Hazard evaluation Exposure evaluation (control banding, measurement techniques) Limit values Best practice guide for risk assessment: FIOH Stockmann-Juvala 19

20 Provisional nano-reference values Based on the precautionary principle! Not directly health-based. Used for making decisions on RMMs. First proposed in Germany by IFA (Institut für Arbeitsschutz der Deutschen Gesetzlichen Unfallversicherung) in The Netherlands (2011): SER (Social and Economic Council) van Broekhuizen et al. (2012) Ann Occup Hyg, 56, Finnish Institute of Occupational Health: Target levels for engineered nanomaterials; based on the nano-reference values FIOH Stockmann-Juvala 20

21 Provisional nano-reference values Nanomaterial Reference value Examples Carbon nanotubes for which effects like those of asbestos are not excluded Biopersistent granular nanomaterial nm; density >6000 kg/m 3 Biopersistent granular nanomaterial nm; density <6000 kg/m 3 Non-biopersistent granular nanomaterial nm 0,01 fibres/cm 3 (8h) SWCNT and MWCNT for which asbestos-like effects are not excluded particles/cm 3 (8 h) Ag, Au, CeO 2, CoO, Fe, Pb, SnO particles/cm 3 (8 h) Al 2 O 3, SiO 2, TiN, TiO 2, ZnO, nanoclay, carbon black, fullerenes also: CNT for which asbestos-like effects are excluded Applicable OEL Fats, NaCl, siloxane IFA, SER FIOH Stockmann-Juvala 21

22 FIOH target levels Nanomaterial Carbon nanotubes for which effects like those of asbestos are not excluded Bio-persistent granular nanomaterial nm; density >6000 kg/m 3 Bio-persistent granular nanomaterial nm; density <6000 kg/m 3 Non-bio-persistent granular nanomaterial nm Bio-persistent granular nanomaterial mainly occurring as agglomerates (>100 nm) Reference value 0,01 fibres/cm 3 (8h) particles/cm 3 (8 h) particles/cm 3 (8 h) Applicable OEL 0.3 mg/m FIOH Stockmann-Juvala 22

23 FIOH Stockmann-Juvala 23

24 Remember The use of nanomaterials is increasing within the construction sector (and other sectors) The product information seldom tells that nanomaterials are included Basic protective measures work well for nanomaterials The risk assessment should cover all chemicals and dusts ENM are just a part of that!
