“…Another advantage of installing a ventilation system is that any future tightening of the envelope can be more easily accommodated. Recent studies have compared the cost and performance of various whole-house ventilation strategies in retrofitted homes (Aldrich & Arena, 2013;LBNL, 2012 …”

“…In addition to maintaining a suitable temperature, if used efficiently, ventilation can play a key role in controlling the exposure of workers to ENPs. There are a broad range of techniques that can be used for this purpose, from point-source ventilation to fullroom ventilation [66]. Hämeri et al [4] showed that nanosized particles were effectively cleaned and exhausted from the breathing zone as a result of using the "displacement flow" principle.…”

Characterising the release of different types of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) from various processes is of critical importance for the assessment of human exposure, as well as understanding the possible health effects of these particles. Therefore, the main aim of this chapter is to present a comprehensive review of studies which report on the release of airborne ENPs in different nanotechnology workplaces. The chapter will cover topics of relevance to the occupational characterisation of ENP emissions, ranging from the identification of different particle release sources and scenarios to measurement methods and working towards a more uniform approach to characterisation. Furthermore, a brief review of ENP exposure control strategies, together with the application of mathematical modelling as an effective tool for the characterisation of emissions at nanotechnology workplaces, is included.

“…However, it has been reported that in reality few local exhaust fans are working properly [1]. For example, in a field study conducted by [13], measurements on 43 bathroom exhaust fans showed that actual airflow rates were between 8% and 105% of the rated values with an average of 67%, which indicates a significantly reduced airflow rate for units in the field.…”
