Heriot-Watt University will lead a multi-million global project that will assess the risks of nanomaterials and develop an approach to minimise the harm they may pose to humans or the environment. Leitat is proud to participate in this highly innovative project. A team from the School of Engineering and Physical Read more…
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…
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…
