Abstract/Summary

Gather and structure the existing Nordic knowledge and experience on nanoparticle risk assessment, and enhance the use of existing data, to guide future data collection, Provide a knowledge base on evaluation and control of the occupational health risk of engineered nanoparticles as input to the Nordic Working Environment Authorities for their development of polices and strategies for controlling nanoparticle exposures. Strengthen the Nordic research potential in the field and facilitate Nordic participation in EU sponsored research.
