HARMLESS @ Final conference of the InnoMat.Life project
Nanoparticles exist in many varieties, including lesser-known structures or hybrid compounds. So far, only a fraction of this abundance – simple nanoparticles – has been thoroughly researched. The InnoMat.Life project (Innovative materials and new production processes: Safety in the life cycle and industrial value added) has been intensively researching on the safety of advanced materials during the last three years. On 27th and 28th June 2022, under the title “From Nano to Advanced Materials”, the InnoMat.Life project presented during its public Final Conference its findings on novel groups of materials (incl. characterisation and testing methods), where interested parties from politics, science, NGOs and industry learnt about the current state of the art of safety research on advanced materials.
Ulla Vogel, from NRCWE, was invited to give an oral presentation where she showed the developments being carried out in HARMLESS WP2, under the title “Physico-chemical predictors of high-aspect ratio nanomaterial toxicity”.
