Assessment and mitigation of nano-enabled product risks on human and environmental health: Development of new strategies and creation of a digital guidance tool for nanotech industries (GUIDENANO)
Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Apr 30, 2017,
The main objective of GUIDEnano is to develop innovative methodologies to evaluate and manage human and environmental health risks of nano-enabled products, considering the whole product life cycle. A strategy to identify hot spots for release of nanomaterials (NMs) will be followed by decision trees to guide on the use of (computational) exposure models and, when necessary, design of cost-effecti ...

Biological Foundation for the Safety Classification of Engineered Nanomaterials (ENM): Systems Biology Approaches to Understand Interactions of ENM with Living Organisms and the Environment (NANOSOLUTIONS)
Start date: Apr 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2017,
The main objective of this research proposal is to identify and elaborate those characteristics of ENM that determine their biological hazard potential. This potential includes the ability of ENM to induce damage at the cellular, tissue, or organism levels by interacting with cellular structures leading to impairment of key cellular functions. These adverse effects may be mediated by ENM-induced a ...

Demonstration of a study to coordinate and perform human biomonitoring on a European scale (DEMOCOPHESII)
Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2012,
...lly not using the same methodological approaches, making it difficult to compare the results. Moreover, differences in capacities and levels of expertise remained high. Some Member States already had national and regional human biomonitoring programmes embedded in their policies, while others had only carried out some dedicated studies or were still in the process of starting first studies.

European Network on the Health and Environmental Impact of Nanomaterials (NanoImpactNet)
Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2012,
Recent technological advances allow the targeted production of objects and materials in the nanoscale (smaller than 100 nm). Nanomaterials have chemical, physical and bioactive characteristics, which are different from those of larger entities of the same materials. Nanoparticles can pass through body barriers. This is interesting for medical applications, but it raises concerns about their health ...

...f ENs on human health, and the dissemination of our findings. Through our comprehensive approach, which combines analytical procedures from many different disciplines and leading experts from several national institutes devoted to occupational and environmental safety, we aim to establish a panel of read-out systems for the prediction of the toxic potential of existing and emerging ENs, thus enabl ...

The project started out with 13 partners from 10 countries. Examples of good practice of education and training in safety and health were brought together by the partners according defined criteria from whole of Europe. Furthermore the project group developed a common standard for the qualification of instructors and trainers in safety and health. Today, almost 50 partners from 20 European countri ...
