Nanomaterials are used in an increasing number of products, but knowledge of their effects on human health and the environment are still insufficient. For this reason, the world’s leading nanotechnology and nanosafety experts will meet at the SENN2015 Congress in Helsinki on 12-15.4.2015, and share the latest research results. The safety of nanomaterials is the
The latest NANOSOLUTIONS newsletter is now available. In this newsletter we have a preview of the SENN2015 congress on Safety of Engineered Nanoparticles with Professor Kai Savolainen. We have updates from WP3, WP5, WP6, WP7, WP8, WP9 and WP12, who explain some of the exciting developments from the NANSOLUTIONS project that have taken place in
On the 11th March INKOA will travel to Bilbao to participate in IMAGINENANO, the largest nanoscience and nanotechnology event in Europe. At the conference, EHS-Advance, the Basque initiative in environment and health & safety, will be introduced along with a progress update on the development of nanosafety legislation at the European level. INKOA will present
Professor Kai Savolainen, director of the Nanosafety
NANOSOLUTIONS partner INKOA will deliver a speech in the NanoBio&Med industrial forum
In this newsletter we present an overview of the NANOSOLUTIONS project
NANOSOLUTIONS was present at the Forum for Young Scientists held in Syracuse, Italy 8-9 October 2014. The presentations by Carina Muoth (EMPA) and Manuel Correia (DTU), both working in the NANOSOLUTIONS project, were awarded for the two best science communications of the Forum. Congratulations Carina and Manuel! Carina Muoth (EMPA) won the first prize with
WP4 is devoted to studying the transformation and/or release of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) along their life cycle (production, manufacturing, use and disposal) when used in existing applications or industrial processes, and the assessment of environmental and health impacts of these releases. Researchers have so far performed a selection of representative applications incorporating each ENM type
A new project seeks to identify and elaborate the characteristics of engineered nanomaterials (ENM) that determine their biological hazard potential. Nanosolutions will help develop a safety classification model for ENM based on an understanding of their interactions with living organisms, benefiting industry and enabling innovation
