Nanotechnologies are likely to offer a wide range of economic benefits. However, unlocking this potential will require a responsible and co-coordinated approach to ensure that potential safety issues are being addressed at the same time as the technology is developing. As a part of the Chemical Programme, this programme focuses on the implications of the use of nanomaterials for human health and environment safety, focussing on testing and assessment methods. Go to About Safety of Manufactured Nanomaterials to know more.
