Development of reference methods for hazard identification, risk assessment and LCA of engineered nanomaterials (NANOVALID)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2011, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2015,
The growing development, production and use of engineered nanomaterials and associated products will increase exposure of both humans and ecosystems to these new materials. However, current knowledge is still incomplete and established test methods are as yet inappropriate to reliably assess the extent of exposure and risk of materials at the nano-scale. There is an urgent need to develop methods ...

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 ...

Novel Concepts, Methods, and Technologies for the Production of Portable, Easy-to-Use Devices for the Measurement and Analysis of Airborne Engineered Nanoparticles in Workplace Air (NANODEVICE)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2009, Date de fin: 31 mars 2013,
Due to their unique properties, engineered nanoparticles (ENP) are now used for a myriad of novel applications with great economic and technological importance. However, some of these properties, especially their surface reactivity, have raised health concerns, which have prompted scientists, regulators, and industry to seek consensus protocols for the safe production and use of the different form ...

Klagenfurt's Anti-PM 10 Action Programme in co-operation with Graz and the South-Tyrol (KAPA GS)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2004, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2007,
Background
Air pollution from high levels of particulate matter (PM) is a major environmental and health problem in many European cities. Raised levels of these tiny, solid particles in the air are linked to health hazards such as heart disease, breathing problems and lung cancer.
The European Commission estimates that the problem causes 300 000 early d ...
