Nanorisk: Safety and Risks of Carbon Nanotubes

Résumé des résultats (Abstract) (Allemand)

Successful introduction of nanoparticles will rely on an early and realistic assessment of risks and appropriate precautionary measures. This project focuses on Carbon Nanotubes (CNT) and aims:- to present the status quo of existing knowledge and uncertainties regarding safety and risk issues of CNT - to perform research to obtain toxicological in vitro data for the hazard identification- to identify the CNT toxicomechanism - to perform a foresight of which potential problems that can arise
