36^th World Nano Conference

Nano toxicology: Safety and Risk Assessment

As nanotechnology advances, it is critical to understand the potential risks posed by nanomaterials to human health and the environment. This track will focus on the toxicological properties of nanomaterials and the ongoing research to assess their safety. Topics will include the effects of nanoparticles on cells, tissues, and organs, as well as the environmental impact of nanoscale materials when they are released into ecosystems. Researchers will discuss methods for assessing nontoxicity, including in vitro and in vivo testing, as well as strategies for mitigating potential risks. This track will also cover the development of regulatory frameworks for ensuring the safe use of nanomaterials in consumer products and medical applications. The goal is to provide a balanced view of the potential hazards and benefits of nanotechnology, ensuring its responsible development and application.
