FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Yes! NANOS operates globally. We can develop an efficient work proposal even if there is the need to travel to complete its execution.

Nanomaterials are chemical substances or materials with a particle size between 1 to 100 nanometers, in at least one dimension. The small size results in a gain of unique physical-chemical properties that differs when compared to material outside the nanoscale. The great potential of nanotechnology lies in these unique physical-chemical properties!

Any job involves occupational hazards. Working with nanomaterials and nanoforms is no different. Nanomaterials are innovative, thus, some uncertainties permeate the field, however, it is already known that depending on the scenario (which must be analyzed on a case-by-case basis) there are potential damages to human health. Workers must be protected by precautionary measures in any exposure scenario. More assertively, Nanos can analyze specific occupational risks and help you protect your team from these risks.

The interaction of nanomaterials with the different biological systems occurs in a complex way. For example, specific properties of the nanomaterial related to its surface and size are important factors in determining its toxicity. Furthermore, the characteristics of the biological system also interfere in this effect whether in the aquatic ecosystem, soil, or inside organisms. For example, it is already known that, in some cases, low concentrations of nanomaterials can cause the mortality of fish and microcrustaceans. To know for sure, a risk analysis must be performed, including the execution of toxicity tests with the nanomaterial of interest.
