As part of NanoDiode's EDUCATE activities, the project partner ETUI has produced a series of 6 presentations to provide information on nanomaterials to people responsible for worker health and safety. The presentations aim to provide the necessary logic to know what employers are responsible for in protecting worker health and safety, and to know what questions to ask employers and what information they need to supply to workers and their representatives. The presentations also identify what information to share with whom to continue to improve protection of European workers from exposure to nanomaterials in the workplace. The presentations are available in English, Danish, Finish and Swedish.
Presentation Topics are:
The presentations can be downloaded via the NanoDiode Website http://www.nanodiode.eu/project/presentations
Information on the sponsorship programmes of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research on nanotechnologies for humans and the environment.
A database with important and generally understandable aspects on health and environment of applied nanomaterials as well as facts on the safety of manufactured nanomaterials.
The chapters on release, exposure, uptake and behavior of nanomaterials in the human body and in the environment as well as the risk assessment will give you a first overview.
Tue Apr 20 @ 8:00AM - 05:00PM NanoTox2021 |
In October we would like to present the special issue "Future Nanosafety" published in "Chemical Research in Toxicology".
In 17 articles operation procedures for future test methods, alternatives for animal testing, safe-by-design processes and detection methods of nanoparticles are presented.
