The mission the HESI Nanomaterial Environmental, Health, and Safety Subcommittee is to improve the science associated with developing toxicological and safety evaluations for engineered nanomaterials and to improve the fundamental understanding of the behavior of these materials in biological systems and the environment. The subcommittee’s activities are focused on four areas including nanomaterial characterization, toxicity, solubility, and life-cycle analysis.
The HESI Nanomaterial Environmental, Health, and Safety Subcommittee held a meeting at the ILSI offices on September 15, 2006. To view presentations from this meeting, click here.
