On the 8th of August 2020, a team of 22 scientists from the Horizon 2020 GRACIOUS consortium published a paper describing a novel science-based Framework for grouping and read-across of nanomaterials. A Framework for grouping and read-across of nanomaterials – supporting innovation and risk assessment. A main objective of the GRACIOUS Framework is to…
Nanotechnology is a fast growing and promising technology due to its potential to develop new add-values products. Their increased production, handling and availability on the market brings innovative applications, but can also lead to personal exposure with the potential for unforeseen biological effects. In particular, workers in companies manufacturing and handling nanomaterials are likely to…
