RISK ASSESSMENT OF ENGINEERED NANOPARTICLES

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. Our aim is to develop an approach for the Risk Assessment of ENP (ENPRA).
