The OECD Webinar on \u201cHow to access exposure to nanomaterials? The evaluation result of existing tools\/models\u201d<\/b> will take place on\u00a0Thursday 2 December 2021 at 14:00 CET \/ 08:00 EST (duration: 2 hours).\u00a0<\/i>The webinar will be available in English and Spanish.<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n
With the dramatic increase of nano-enabled products entering the market every year, human and environmental exposures are inevitable, which raises concerns in terms of the health and safety of such emerging nanomaterials. Scientific knowledge to assess the exposure to nanomaterials continues to improve. As an example, new exposure tools and models for nanomaterials are being developed.<\/p>\n
To further promote the development in this area, the OECD compiled an inventory of available models and tools for assessing occupational, consumer and environmental exposure to Nanomaterials. 54 tools and models were initially compiled and following in-depth analyses, 10 occupational, 7 consumer and 6 environmental tools\/models were recommended or evaluated as suitable for assessing exposure to nanomaterials. The detailed information on the analyses and evaluations are provided in the reports accessible\u00a0from\u00a0the Series on Testing and Assessment website<\/a>\u00a0(No. 345, 346, 347 and 348).<\/p>\n
