The Studies of Risk Assessment of Nanoparticles

The study of this project includes nomenclature, methodologies for risk assessment, and the exchange of information on human and ecological toxicology studies in nanotechnology research. The goals are: (1) collecting domestic and international nanotechnology relevant to toxicity information, (2) establishing the flow chart of nanotechnology risk assessment, (3) making suggestions of methodologies for risk assessment on nanotechnology, and (4) establishing the structure of nanoparticles risk management for reference to future nanotechnology risk management.
Nanopartilces, quantum dots, fullerenes and carbon nanotubes has been collected in Toxicological information of nanomaterials. This study has established the Precautionary Principle and the preliminary framework for health risk assessment, which could prevent or reduce risks before the completed development of the potential danger, and reply the appeal for developing a standard methodology for risk assessment which is made by European Commission during the Brussels Conference of 2004.
Exchange of informations of nanotoxicology allows contact between domestic and international researchers. The methodologies for risk assessment establishes framework for health assessment of risks which could be used to be the direction to develop the internal risks assessment, and is advantageous to the government in management of the risks of nanotechnology.
