Resumen
New products based on nanotechnology are currently being incorporated in the construction sector to achieve materials with improved performance as de-pollutants, fire retardants or insulations. However concerns about potential effects on health still remain that should be investigated to assure the acceptance of manufactured nano-materials (MNM’s) in the sector. This work focuses on the analysis of aerosols released from the combustion of these new materials. It has been done in the frame of SCAFFOLD project (nº 280535), which aims to manage the potential risks arising from the use of MNM’s in the construction sector.
