April 23 - 24 2010 Postsatellite Meeting to EUROTOX 2009 on Current Aspects on Nanotechnology and Nanomaterials
Invitation
to a Post Satellite to the 46th
EUROTOX Meeting
Innovation
through Nanotechnology and Nanomaterials
- Current Aspects of
Safety Assessment and Regulation –
22nd
– 24th
April 2010
It
is our great pleasure to invite you to our Scientific Workshop on
Safety Assessment and Regulation of Nanomaterials to be held at the
International Conference Centre Dresden, Germany.
Nanotechnology
is a powerful tool to optimize technical processes or to generate new
materials with exciting functionalities. High expectations are
connected to products of nanotechnology with regard to energy
efficiency, new materials, electronics, solutions to decrease energy
needs for information technologies or data storage. Following
introduction of nanomaterials in new technologies, regulators,
developers and the producers are confronted with a growing list of
questions addressing the safety of nanomaterials for consumers and
environment.
The
participants are invited to give their input into the discussion on
the long term safe use of nanoproducts with regard to work place,
human health and environment. The complexity of the ongoing risk
discussion is a challenge to demonstrate the ability of toxicological
work in academia, industry and regulation. It is also a big chance to
bring our expertise into society on our common way to find the right
balance between chances of new technologies and level of acceptance
of remaining risks.
