A website providing information on nanotechnology health and safety is today being launched by SAFENANO.

Managed by the Institute of Occupational Medicine in Edinburgh, SAFENANO aims to become the UK’s premier resource on nanotechnology hazard and risk.
SAFENANO will provide independent and impartial advice to stakeholders including industry, academia and the wider public concerning the potential risks to human health and the environment from nanomaterials.

The SAFENANO project is being funded with £316,000 over three years from the Government’s Technology Strategy Board, which is sponsored by the Department of Innovation, Universities and Skills (DIUS). (SafeNano)
