2014 - Introduction to Nanomaterials - Identifying and Managing Health, Safety and Environmental Risks

Instructor: Carole A. LeBlanc
Description:
In general physics' terms, a nanomaterial is any material that has an average particle size of 1 - 100 nanometers (nm), both naturally occurring and manmade. Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) have been deliberately synthesized or manufactured to have at least one external dimension in the nanoscale, and exhibit resultant unique properties. This webinar will focus on ENMs.
The term 'nanotechnology' was first defined by Norio Taniguchi at Tokyo Science University in 1974. The 'buckyball' (a hollow sphere composed entirely of carbon) and carbon nanotubes were discovered in 1985 and 1991, respectively.
Why Should you Attend:
Nanotechnology has already begun to revolutionize not only science and research, but everyday consumer products. Any person interested in how this science works, and its potential impacts on our society, should attend this webinar.
Objectives of the Presentation:
To provide an overview of the science behind nanomaterials.
Who can Benefit:
State and local governments concerned about the growing use of ENMs
Non-profit organizations (NGOs) with a scientific or regulatory mission
Organizations and trade associations that interface with regulatory agencies, in particular, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
Companies intending to market ENMs in different countries, under different regulatory regimes.
