The cleaning of particles from library materials (paper, textile, and collagen materials) using a high-speed CO2 snow jet was investigated. The measurements included\ndetermination of the cleaning efficiency, and evaluation of possible adverse effects. The method was compared with nitrogen jet cleaning. The results showed that the CO2 snow\njet is able to effectively remove particles from the surfaces. Any adverse effects were not observed at paper and textile. However, application on collagen materials caused\ndegradation of the surface.

Ždímal, Vladimír ; Ondráčková, Lucie ; Ondráček, Jakub ; Schwarz, Jaroslav ; Bradna, P. ; Roubíčková, A. ; Pelclová, D. ; Rössnerová, Andrea
The purpose of this study was to measure the personal exposure of each participant of the study and to compare the results with those of static monitoring. Personal nanoparticle sam-plers (PENS), which can simultaneously detect both nanoparticles (PM0.1) and respirable parti-cles (PMA), were used to determine personal exposure (Tsai et al., 2012). Area monitoring in-cluded measurement of mass concentrations using the Berner Low Pressure Impactor (BLPI 25/0.018 /2, Hauke GmbH, Gmunden, Austria) and the Low Volume Sampler (LV5, Sven Leckel Ingenieurbüro GmbH, Germany). The number concentrations and their size distributions were measured with the Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer (5MP5 3936, T5I Inc., USA) and the Aerody-namic Particle Sizer (APS 3321, TSI Inc., USA). Measurements with all of the above- mentioned instruments were performed in four shifts with six participants per shift. Each participant milled for 10 minutes and then remained in the room until the group finished the session, so the total exposure lasted about 70 minutes. Due to the high content of filler nanoparticles, the nanocom-posite Filtek Ultimate (body A2, 3M ESPE, USA) was selected for these measurements.

The aim of this methodology was to create a set of procedures and recommendations for library and archive staff or restorers, using which it is possible to remove dust particles from the surface of paper, textiles and collagen materials using the two-phase spray of CO2 snow particles in the carrier gas. The result is an effective and safe alternative to existing cleaning methods. Furthermore, the research aimed to compare the results of this type of treatment with commonly used mechanical cleaning procedures for library collections and archival documents and to analyse in detail the potential use of the new method.

Experimental Methods to Study Aerosol Nanoparticles.
Ždímal, Vladimír ; Schwarz, Jaroslav ; Ondráčková, Lucie ; Ondráček, Jakub
During the last few decades, the experimental possibilities of studying aerosol particles have grown enormously. Not only is it possible to determine the particle size distribution in different metrics, not only can the chemical composition of the size-resolved aerosol be determined, but methods have been developed over the last two decades that allow all of these tasks to be handled in real time. These methods stem from several basic physical principles: molecular diffusion based on Brownian motion, electrostatic separation of particles with predictable charge, condensational growth of particles, gravitational settling, acceleration of particles in nozzles, inertial impaction, and light scattering on particles.\nHowever, if we are specifically interested in separating particles smaller than 100 nanometers in diameter, the choice of experimental methods would be substantially reduced. In fact, we have only four physical principles that can be utilized in this size range with reasonable degree of uncertainty: Brownian motion, electrostatics, impaction and condensation. For the determination of the chemical composition in a given size range, the most commonly used is a combination of physical / chemical ionization with mass detection, however, the range of quantifiable substances is greatly limited.\nRecently, exposure monitoring of workers in the production of engineered nanoparticles has become increasingly important. Here, the task is further complicated by the fact that it is necessary to sample directly from the vicinity of the worker's mouth to determine personal exposure. As far as the collection of nanoparticles in the respiratory zone is concerned, there is not yet a great choice of options, and experimental methods are still being developed and tested. A promising alternative is a stationary measurement, where state-of-the-art aerosol spectrometers are located close to the working space of the personnel, so that the actual exposure of the worker can be estimated. In this case, however, it is necessary to calibrate the on-line instruments by comparison with simultaneous personal collection.\n

Nanoparticles Personal Exposure Measurement Using a Novel Active Personal Nanoparticle Sampler During Machining and Weldind of Nanomaterials.
Ondráčková, Lucie ; Vlčková, Lucia ; Ondráček, Jakub ; Schwarz, Jaroslav ; Ždímal, Vladimír
Development of nanotechnology has grown very rapidly in past decades. Therefore, it has become increasingly important to monitor the exposure of workers in nanoparticle-based manufacturing operations. In order to determine real personal exposure, it is advisable to take a sample within the worker’s breathing zone. To perform this task, there is not much of a choice yet, since experimental methods are still under development. Recently, a novel active personal nanoparticle sampler (PENS) has been developed, collecting both respirable mass fraction (RPM) and nanoparticles (NPs) simultaneously.
