Guidance Booklet on Safe Handling of Nanoparticles (Impart) NMP4-CT-2005-013968, 2008, D McCormack, N Malanowski, P Sermon, J Hoech

Abstract

Nanotechnologies are a fast evolving scientific and technological field with a high potential impact on science, economy and society. Like with all new and quickly developing technologies it is important to weigh benefits versus risks at the earliest possible convenience. Building on the results of the ImPart project, this booklet is intended to give a review of the actual knowledge in the field of nanospecific risks, deriving recommendations for the safe handling of nanoparticles for executives in industry, public organizations and NGOs. This booklet is also intended to give an outlook on possible developments in the near future and "life after ImPart".
