Overview
Concept
Numerous reports and commissions have documented the explosion of discoveries in nanotechnology. Moreover, these discoveries are quickly moving out of the laboratory into commercial products. It is imperative that the fields of exposure assessment, nanotoxicology and risk assessment be developed in parallel with nanotechnology and its applications. This symposium aims to bring together all stakeholders, industry, academia and regulators and foster productive conversations about this emerging and critical aspect of engineering, commerce, and public health.
