Date: 5 May – 27 June 2014

Background: Nano-containing products is a fast growing market being used extensively throughout the world in consumer products, health sector, and industrial processes. While this new technology offers an array of benefits, more research needs to be done to understand how these nanomaterials could potential effect human health and the environment. Participants will therefore, learn about global, national and sector-specific challenges and opportunities for safe development and use of nanomaterials. Additionally, participants will begin to develop basic skills for recognizing safety concerns and applying risk management approaches to manufactured nanomaterial.

Fee: USD 600
