Recently, toxicological studies on health effects related to aerosol exposure suggest that nanoparticles (particles with diameter less than 100 nm) may cause health effects after their inhalation. It is necessary to consider protective measures against inhalation of the nanoparticle aerosols. In this paper, we overview the performance of fibrous air filters for nanoparticles and selection process of personal protective equipments, such as dust respirators, at the workplaces where workers handle any nanomaterials.
