Life Nanoexplore

The NanoExplore project will build a harmonized approach to overcome current data gaps and barriers limiting the implementation of REACH regulation and the use of human bio-monitoring data in the protection of human health and the environment when dealing with particles in the nanometer range (1-100 nm) by combining long series of robust data on the concentration of ENMs measured by a wireless sensor network (WSN) of monitoring devices, appropriate biomarkers, and a tailored designed data management application. This approach addresses current environmental, health, and safety questions about ENMs, providing stakeholders from government, industry, NGOs, or the general public, with reliable data on the concentration and effects of particles in the nanometer range (1-100 nm). In the long-term, the main goal of the project is to reduce by a 10 % the potential adverse effects derived from the exposure to ENMs by setting up a harmonized health surveillance system, and promote new EU polices for the safe use of ENMs.
