Description

Nanomaterials are integrated into consumer products to enhance specific properties. In case nanomaterials are used amongst other ingredients in a formulation, the entire product will not become a nanomaterial. Advanced composites containing nanomaterials may provide superior functional properties, but they can also exhibit an increased toxicological risk, and the environmental fate of the involved nanomaterials should be further studied within the context of human and environmental health. In this context, concerns arise regarding the eventual release  of nanomaterials throughout the product lifecycle, particularly due to mechanical strains that can lead to the generation of fragmented particulate matter (especially PM2.5) or even nanomaterials.
