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 ...

A pan-European infrastructure for quality in nanomaterials safety testing (QUALITYNANO)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2011, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2015,
Nanoscale objects interact with living organisms in a fundamentally new manner, ensuring that a fruitful marriage of nanotechnology and biology will long outlast short term imperatives. Therefore, investment in an infrastructure to drive scientific knowledge of the highest quality will have both immediate benefits of supporting the safety assessment of legacy nanomaterials, as well as pointing tow ...

Nanotechnology: Training Of Experts in Safety (NANOTOES)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2010, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2015,
Life Sciences and Nano Sciences interact today mainly in two areas: in the evaluation of accidental health and environmental effects derived from engineered nanomaterials, and in development and biological/clinical evaluation of nanoparticles with intended biological effects for application in medicine and biotechnology. It is essential for producers, distributors, consumers and regulators that th ...

European Network on the Health and Environmental Impact of Nanomaterials (NanoImpactNet)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2008, Date de fin: 31 mars 2012,
Recent technological advances allow the targeted production of objects and materials in the nanoscale (smaller than 100 nm). Nanomaterials have chemical, physical and bioactive characteristics, which are different from those of larger entities of the same materials. Nanoparticles can pass through body barriers. This is interesting for medical applications, but it raises concerns about their health ...

Development of Exposure Scenarios for Manufactured Nanomaterials (NANEX)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2009, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2010,
Nanotechnology is a fast growing industry producing a wide variety of manufactured nanomaterials (MNMs) and numerous potential applications. Consequently, the potential for exposure to humans and the environment is likely to increase. Human exposure to MNMs and environmental release of these materials can occur during all the life cycle stages of these materials. For each stage of the life cycle o ...
