What exactly are nanoparticles? What is meant by “exposure”? When do toxicologists speak of a risk? This and many more questions regarding research on safety aspects of nanomaterials are answered here: www.nanoobjects.info
With the launch of the Nano-Platform "Safe Handling of Nanomaterials" (http://nano.dguv.de/), the DGUV has introduced the world's first interactive platform focusing on occupational safety and health aspects of nanomaterials. It adresses both employees without knwowledge about nano technology and prevention experts.
Main part of their work are so called "Nanoramas" - a word creation from the words nano and panorama. A Nanorama is a special 360°-E-Learning tool which has been developed by the Innovation Society. Users are able to move freely in a virtual room in which they can playfully learn about Nanotechnolgy. Nanoramas can be used in several areas of training and communication.
The newest "Nanorama - car workshop" to learn the safe handling of nanomaterials can be found under http://nano.dguv.de/nanorama/bghm/
Previous Nanoramas focusing on the areas construction side and laboratory can be found under http://nano.dguv.de/nanoramen/
NOTE: The Nanoramas are currently only available in german!
The "Nanorama Car Workshop" (http://nano.dguv.de/nanorama/bghm/) is part of the Nano-Platform "Safe Handling of Nanomaterials" by the German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV). It was developed by the Innovation Society, St. Gallen in cooperation with the German Social Accident Insurance Institution for the woodworking and metalworking industries (BGHM).
Information on the sponsorship programmes of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research on nanotechnologies for humans and the environment.
A database with important and generally understandable aspects on health and environment of applied nanomaterials as well as facts on the safety of manufactured nanomaterials.
The chapters on release, exposure, uptake and behavior of nanomaterials in the human body and in the environment as well as the risk assessment will give you a first overview.
