- An international collaborative output first to report the presence of independent CNTs (10 nm) aerosol particles release during machining of nanocomposites products that is highly significant in occupational exposure assessment. The study was funded by EC Life+ (SIRENA, ENV/ES/596) and H2020 QualityNano Project (TA VITO-TAF-382; VITO-TAF-500). The study stimulates evaluation of occupational health assessment and exposure dosage, led to Keynote lectures funded by UKIERI and S. Africa Government in India and South Africa respectively. The study contributed to the appointment of Njuguna to ISO/TC 229 WG3 International Committee (Health, Safety and Environmental Aspects of Nanotechnologies) as the UK National representative.
