Quality evaluation of human and environmental toxicity studies performed with nanomaterials – the GUIDEnano approach

The European Union FP-7 project GUIDEnano developed a web-based guidance tool, which guides users to assess human and environmental risks of nanomaterial-enabled products throughout their life cycle. One of the aims in the GUIDEnano hazard assessment strategy is to derive safety limit values based on existing human toxicity and ecotoxicological Read more…

Help test GUIDEnano risk-governance model by joining a user testing session

caLIBRAte will establish a versatile next-generation nano-risk governance framework for assessment and management of human and environmental risks of manufactured nanomaterials (MN) and MNenabled products. The framework will be founded on thoroughly tested models and stakeholder needs. The goal is that the quality and trust in the caLIBRAte nano-risk governance Read more…
