TY - GEN A1 - Hodoroaba, Vasile-Dan T1 - Delivering Impact - A new ISO standard on the identification of nanoparticles N2 - Nanoparticles (NPs) are tiny – around 1 to 100 billionths of a meter – and can have different chemistries and behaviours than the same material of larger size. This property has led to advances in a wide range of industries, but it can also confer toxicity. Size measurements are the main way NPs are identified but a lack of standardised methods for identifying ones with complex shapes has hindered evaluation of their potential harm.
