摘要:
Nanotechnology is one of the Key Enabling Technologies identified in the European Union 2020 Strategy. It has enormous potential for innovation, which has fostered large investments in developing novel nano-enabled industrial applications and consumer products. However, there are large uncertainties around the safety of engineered nanomaterials, which are raising societal concerns about the adequacy of their regulation. Indeed, currently the widely-accepted view is that there are many unanswered questions on the potential environmental, health and safety (EHS) risks associated with the manufacture, use, distribution and disposal of nanomaterials. To answer these questions the European Commission invested over 200 million euros in research projects under the 6th and 7th Framework and H20202 Programmes. These projects aimed to address (but were not limited to) the following areas:
Physicochemical characterization of engineered nanomaterials and products including nanomaterials in their formulation
Fate, biodistribution, degradation of engineered nanomaterials at cellular and body level and in the environment.
Assessment of toxicity and risk of engineered nanomaterials to humans and the environment
Modelling of the exposure-dose-response relationship and extrapolation of results from in vitro to in vivo and to human situations
Metrology, cross validation and standardization of assays, protocols and models for physicochemical analysis and assessment of (eco)toxicity
Data management: including the creation and implementation of common databases
Nanosafety research remains a centrally important topic to ensuring Europe’s vision of the knowledge economy and the safe implementation of nanotechnologies for the benefit of society. Currently, there is an increased emphasis on advanced materials and materials as they exist in products and following environmental transformation & ageing, as well as on research with a regulatory and/or market focus, including Safety-by-design and Life Cycle Assessment approaches.
The most recent calls for proposals focused on high throughput, predictive toxicology and grouping approaches for risk assessment, and the results of these calls are expected imminently. The call topics for the second phase of Horizon2020 (2018-2020) include governance of nanomaterials, an increased focus on nanobioinformatics, and calls for Innovation Hubs, for which nanosafety is a potential element needed to support commercialization of nano-enabled products.
