In the Know

SAFENANO's latest feature,
In the know, provides succinct highlights, opinion and advice compiled from our review of key papers of value to nanotechnology safety.
Digests will cover a breadth of topics, including substance-specific emerging evidence, physico-chemical / effect relationships,
in vitro –
in vivo nanotoxicology correlations, and developments in managing nanotechnology risk.
There will be at least one digest added to the site per month, so keep checking back for updates!
