Although the existing methods used
nanotechnologies October 7th, 2008In general, and in spite of rapidly increasing number of scientific publications dealing with nanoscience and nanotechnology, there is insufficient knowledge and data concerning the characteristics of nanoparticles, their detection and measurement, their behaviour in living systems, and all aspects of their harmful potential in humans and in the environment, to allow for satisfactory risk assessments for humans and ecosystems to be performed..
Also, the existing methods are appropriate to assess many of the hazards associated with the products and processes involving nanoparticles, they not be sufficient to address all the hazards. In general, and in spite of rapidly increasing number of scientific publications dealing with nanoscience and nanotechnology, there is insufficient knowledge and data concerning the characteristics of nanoparticles, their detection and measurement, their behaviour in living systems, and all aspects of their harmful potential in humans and in the environment, to allow for satisfactory risk assessments for humans and ecosystems to be performed..
Existing methodologies need to be modified for nanoparticles. In general, and in spite of rapidly increasing number of scientific publications dealing with nanoscience and nanotechnology, there is insufficient knowledge and data concerning the characteristics of nanoparticles, their detection and measurement, their behaviour in living systems, and all aspects of their harmful potential in humans and in the environment, to allow for satisfactory risk assessments for humans and ecosystems to be performed..
