Safety and Risks of Engineered Nanomaterials
About this course
Engineered nanomaterials offer enormous potential in many areas of technology. The safety of ENM is the key to the success of several industrial sectors including electronics industry, consumer products, drug industry, food industry, paper industry, construction industry, aviation and space industry, and agriculture. However, without end users and customers’ confidence, nanotechnology has no future. There is need for additional research and knowledge on ENM that would enable setting of occupational exposure limits for these materials.

Course objectives
The main goal of the course is to provide the participants with information that allows them to understand key-issues related to ENM. More specifically, the purpose is to introduce the current knowledge about the characteristics of ENM, exposure to the materials and their health effects and also about the challenges of risk assessment and risk management concerning ENM at workplaces. One of the goals of the course is also to provide information on how to carry out predictive assessment of safety of ENM. The course will also provide information on the current hot topics in especially European approaches to promote safety of ENM.

Subject background
Engineered nanomaterials offer enormous potential in many areas of technology. The safety of ENM is the key to the success of several industrial sectors including electronics industry, consumer products, drug industry, food industry, paper industry, construction industry, aviation and space industry, and agriculture. However, without end users and customers’ confidence, nanotechnology has no future.
There is need for additional research and knowledge on ENM that would enable setting of occupational exposure limits for these materials. Considering the remarkable knowledge gaps on the safety of ENM methods and approaches enabling predictive assessment of their safety will be increasingly important in the future.
