Abstract/Summary
ECSIN will be active in three main nanotech sectors, with a multilevel analysis approach: Interaction human health / environment, Public perception and social/ethical policies, Education for a responsible use. ECSIN activities are coherent with guidelines of European Commission on “Nanotechnology and Nanosciences DevelopmentĀ (N&N). Within which ECSIN will operate: 1. Security for public health, environment and consumers:Risks evaluation about nanoparticles use, Analysis of potentially nanostructured pollutants and contaminants, Analysis of risks for workers employed in nanomaterial production, 2. N&N Social impact analysis, 3. Consistent and acquainted strategy
