Preliminary evaluation of risks related to waste incineration of polymer nanocomposites

Christian Ludwig

If nanotechnology proves to be successful for bulk applications, large quantities of nanocomposites are likely to end up in municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) plants. Various studies indicate that nanoobjects might be harmful to human health and the ...
