Nanosafety

In a rapidly evolving research field, it is crucial to understand the impact of nanomaterials on human health and the environment.

The overall objective is to increase our understanding of the fundamental connections between particle properties and human and environmental toxicology, as well as of emissions and exposure in all stages of the lifecycle of a nanomaterial. The research aims at providing the tools needed to implement Safe(r)-and-sustainable-by-design in the development and production of novel materials.
