However, studies involving mice indicate signs of developing lung disease including pulmonary inflammation, granulomas, fibrosis, intratracheal instillation, and carcinogenic effects <a href=\"#Source11\"><span style=\"color: #2f75d0;\"><u>(Ref. 11)<\/u><\/span><\/a>. NIOSH recognizes these signs as similar to human signs when developing occupational lung diseases. They suggest treating all carbon nanotubes and nanofibers as respiratory hazards and monitoring exposure to ensure airborne levels are below the recommended level <a href=\"#Source11\"><span style=\"color: #2f75d0;\"><u>(Ref. 11)<\/u><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Particulate Exposure during Cosmetics Manufacturing<\/h2>\n<p>Employees are at risk for exposure to potentially hazardous materials during the weighing, grinding of pigments, and mixing steps of the manufacturing process. Employees may also come in contact while fixing machines, moving batches, and when materials are settling in a machine after pouring. Likewise, while developing new makeup or cosmetics, scientists may be exposed to particulate during the research and testing of new products. Also, when working with powder based cosmetics such as eye shadows, blushes, foundations, pigments, and cosmetics containing nanomaterials, presents a higher chance of particulate respiratory exposure.<\/p>\n<h2>Particulate Control for Cosmetics Manufacturing<\/h2>\n<p>Cosmetic manufacturers should install engineering safety controls for particulate extraction devices and train employees to utilize ventilation systems to prevent exposure to harmful particulate. Depending on the application, Sentry Air offers numerous solutions to protect employee respiratory health.<\/p>\n<h3><b>AirHawk Ductless Fume Hood \u2013 <a
