MODeling the EnviRonmental and human health effects of Nanomaterials (MODERN) (MODERN)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2013, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2015,
Nano-sized materials are a common element in many industrial processes mainly due to their unique properties that lead to the production of high technology products. The widespread use of nanotechnology requires the consideration of the environmental and human health risks that may result from the introduction of engineered nanoparticles (eNPs) into the environment. Although toxic effects for cert ...

Managing Risks of Nanoparticles (MARINA)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2011, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2015,
While there are standard procedures for product life cycle analysis, exposure, hazard, and risk assessment for traditional chemicals, is not yet clear how these procedures need to be modified to address all the novel properties of nanomaterials. There is a need to develop specific reference methods for all the main steps in managing the potential risk of ENM. The aim of MARINA is to develop such ...

Targeting Hernia Operation Using Sustainable Resources and Green Nanotechnologies. An Integrated Pan-European Approach (Green Nano-Mesh)
Date du début: 1 juin 2011, Date de fin: 31 mai 2015,
...pain and poor quality-of-life for the patient and lead to enormous healthcare costs, exceeding US $48 billion in the US annually. At present, hernia operations rely heavily on non-degradable polypropylene, polytetrafluoroethylene and nylon meshes. However, these polymers are often associated with foreign body reaction; implant failure; and hernia reoccurrence (over 42%). Moreover, leaking chemical ...

INTELLIGENT TESTING STRATEGY FOR ENGINEERED NANOMATERIALS (ITS-NANO)
Date du début: 1 mars 2012, Date de fin: 31 mai 2013,
The background, concept and objectives of ITS-NANO are straight forward. The volume of information on hazard characterisation of ENM is increasing fast. In parallel with the scientific development, regulation orientated initiatives are also taking place to identify needs.The ITS-NANO concept is 1: Gather targeted all scientific evidence, by literature search and communication with leading scientis ...
