Engineered Nanoparticles (ENP) are increasingly
produced for use in a wide range of industrial and consumer products. Yet
it is known that exposure to some types of particles can cause severe
health effects. Therefore it is essential to ascertain whether exposure to
ENP can lead to possible health risks for workers and consumers. We have
formed a consortium of well-known scientists from European Universities and
Research Institutes, with over 100 publications in the field of
Nanotoxicology. Our aim is to develop an approach for the Risk Assessment
of ENP (ENPRA).
