Nanotechnology is said to be the industry of the 21st century. The production of nanoproducts keeps growing at a rapid pace. In November 2016 in France, the 4th annual declaration on imported, distributed and manufactured nanoscale substances reported a total number of registrations four times that of year 2013. Consequently, the need to anticipate how to deal with these products at each step of their life cycle is more and more necessary. Nanowaste management including product incineration is to be investigated to assess the impact it could have both on human health and the environment. The growing number of registrations of nanoscale substances clearly demonstrates that the amount of nanowaste to be processed in waste treatment plant will increase in years to come. Though to date French and European regulations relative to nanowaste management do not exist, recommendations may at least be delivered to minimize possible impact on the environment and human health. Data on nanowaste incineration are still scarce, which motivates considering this question to better understand the phenomena at stake...
