Special Symposium

This symposium provides a forum to present research into health, environmental and safety concerns presented by nanotechnology, and to discuss regulatory and policy issues surrounding the rapid development and commercialization of these technologies.

In addition to papers highlighting innovative work in toxicology and developments in regulation and policy, the 2012 event will feature the following focus areas:

• Nanoparticle release during the life cycle of consumer products and nanocomposites – research on assessment of the likely dose of nanoparticles in the environment.
• Environmental health and safety aspects of products containing silver nanoparticles, by far the most prevalent type of nanoparticle in consumer products.
• Societal perceptions of risk from nanotechnology
• Interactions between nanomaterials and living systems (special symposium)

Topics & Application Areas

• Nanoparticle Biocompatibility & Toxicity
• Neurotoxicity of Nanomaterials
• Methods & Models for Nano Toxicity Screening
• Nanoparticle release during the life cycle of consumer products & nanocomposites
• EHS aspects of products containing Ag Nanoparticles
• Societal perceptions of risk from nanotechnology
• Interactions between nanomaterials & living systems
• Other
