The European Comission identifies Nanotechnology as a key enabling technology for Europe’s future.
Nanotechnology is defined as a technology executed on the scale of less than a 100 nanometers, the goal of which is to control individual atoms and molecules, especially to create new packaging materials to extend shelf life of products, self-cleaning paint even road surface that repairs itself.
On the other hand, nanomaterials is living a fast develop and we need to know all the possible health and environmental risks. In this regard, the use of nanomaterials comes with legal and regulatory uncertainty and concern about their risks in the environment and the nanoparticle’s work health.
The workshop will focus on disseminate the European project LIFE NanoRisk (LIFE12 ENV/ES/178) developments, funded by the LIFE Programme+ Política y Gobernanza.
Its main goal is to minimize human and environmental risks from overexposure to nanoparticles and study the effectiveness of personal and collective protective equipment for nanomaterials.
Main topics of the workshop:
- Nanotechnology applications, its vast potential for new products development and the main properties that could reach traditional and emerging fields.
- Identify the main legal requirements for the use of nanomaterials and its placement on the market.
- Current methods to evaluate the exposure of nanomaterials and the threshold value recommended.
- Protection and control of exposure measures.
- Experience gathered with LIFE NanoRISK project: exposure scenarios and exposure ranges in industrial environments.
