Presentations posted from EU Scientific Hearing on Risk Assessment of Nanotechnologies
(Nanowerk News) On September 10, 2009, the European Commission (DG Health and Consumers) organized in Brussels a Scientific Hearing on the risk assessment of nanotechnologies.
The main objectives of this Hearing have been to identify:
  • any possible scientific topics which have not been covered in the opinions from the relevant EU Risk Assessment Committees and Bodies;
  • what are -according to current scientific knowledge- the main potential risks that could emerge from the use of nanomaterials in the future; and
  • provision of relevant background information and comments on those issues.
    		•
    The presentations at this meeting have now been posted on the DG Health and Consumer's website:
