Method Selection Framework for the Quantitation of Nanocarbon Scientific Operating Procedure Series (SOP-C-3) : Selection of Methods for Release Testing and Quantitation of Solids, Suspensions, and Air Samples for Carbon Based Nanomaterials
Abstract
There is significant concern regarding the health and safety risk of nanocarbon (for example, nanotubes, graphene, fullerene), and the current capability gap for accurately determining exposure levels encumbers risk assessment, regulatory decisions, and commercialization. Given the various analytical challenges associated with the detection and quantitation of nanocarbon, it is unlikely that a single method or technique will prove effective for all forms of nanocarbon, all exposure scenarios, or all possible environmental systems. The optimal approach, or series of techniques, will likely depend on the nature of the material being measured, its concentration, and the matrix in which it is contained. In this work, a preliminary decision framework is presented that assists the user in determining which analytical methods are best suited for a given sample.
