Large-scale Integrating Collaborative FP7 Project –“Development of reference methods for hazard identification, risk assessment and LCA of engineered nanomaterials – NanoValid” (2011 – 2015) – IMT resp. M. Kusko > THEME NMP.2010.1.3-1 Reference methods for managing the risk of engineered nanoparticles http://www.imt.ro/nanovalid/
| NanoValid has been launched as one of the "flagship" nanosafety projects. The project consists of 24 European partners from 14 different countries and 6 partners from Brazil, Canada, India and the US and will run from 2011 to 2015, with a total budget of more than 13 mio EUR (EC contribution 9.6 mio EUR). It is devoted to validation of the measurements and test methods for testing toxicity. In cooperation with international standardization bodies and the industry, advanced physical-chemical characterization methods for organic and inorganic nanomaterials are studied, aiming at developing a set of reliable reference methods and materials for the fabrication, hazard identification and exposure assessment of engineered nanomaterials. |
