Abstract(s)
Control Banding (CB) methodology is one of the approaches developed on assessment
and management of the risk of hazardous substances exposure. In the last decade, several CB tools were
developed regarding workers’ exposure to nanomaterials. This review intends to identify CB methods
already applied in occupational settings in industrial activities and laboratories with exposure to nanoma-
terials, aiming to help the selection of a CB tool to be applied in a specific scenario, allowing to achieve
most reliable results. The results of the data base search revealed seven CB tools applied to laboratories
and industrial activities. Although the similarities, these tools present differences that may affect the con-
sistency of the resulting conclusions. CB methodologies allow to define priorities in applying adequate
control measures. However, the results also indicate that workplaces’ measurements and its comparison
with CB results are valuable to support possible future adjustments to seek more consistent results.
