Nano Risk 2008 - 21/23 October 2008 - Tapis Rouge - Paris - France
Determining occupational, environmental and health impacts
  Nanotechnologies are expected to have a profound impact on societies and economies around the world. At the same time, public awareness of nanotechnology is very low. This has led many people to expect that nanotechnology, and especially its nanobio-applications, will be the next major public, NGO, media and political issue after GM food and agriculture and following on others such as with nuclear energy.

Indeed, nanomaterial products such as metal or metal oxide nanoparticles are now widely produced and used. It cannot be denied that these nanomaterials may have a detrimental effect on health and environment. Consequently, investigations should be boosted on the potential toxicity of nanomaterials developed for industrial applications or for pharmaceutical preparations. In particular, the scientists must take part to this societal problem giving access to rigorous data concerning the toxicity of the artificial nanomaterials.

What are the regulation policies?
What about risk governance?
What are the methodologies to estimate toxicity?
   
 
During the second edition of the NanoRisk conference, to be held in Paris on 21 to 23 October, 2008, researchers, industrials and government representants will address these questions in detail.

The conference will stand in parallel with NanoEnergy 2008.

The conference agenda is now available on-line.

The proposals submitted have been examined by the scientific committee.
