RISK ASSESSMENT OF ENGINEERED NANOPARTICLES
Category
FP7 Project with U.S. partner
Short name and number
ENPRA (228789)
Area
Nanosciences, nanotechnologies, materials & new production technologies
Description
Engineered Nanoparticles (ENP) are increasingly produced for use in a wide range of industrial and consumer products. Yet it is known that exposure to some types of particles can cause severe health effects. Therefore it is essential to ascertain whether exposure to ENP can lead to possible health risks for workers and consumers. Our aim is to develop an approach for the Risk Assessment of ENP (ENPRA).
Participating Countries
All EU Member States, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands and United States.
