Engineered nanomaterials are intentionally and unintentionally released into the environment, which might pose a risk to the ecosystem. To estimate this potential risk it is therefore necessary to accurately detect quantify the amounts of nanomaterials released into the environment. How can we detect nanomaterials in the environment & in environmental organisms? What are the challenges for environmental samples?
The recently published DaNa-article "Detecting nanomaterials in the environment" will answer these and other questions which can be found in our Cross-Cutting section.
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.

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.
