摘要: The responsible development of new nanomaterials and nano-enabled products requires that potential risks are understood managed before harms occur. Although quantitative predictive tools for anticipating human health environmental risk in early stages development, there is a clear need screening methodologies to inform decision making related nanomaterial management regulatory agencies industry. This paper presents the results two-day workshop with nanotechnology experts aimed at developing risk-screening framework nanomaterials. Drawing upon expertise nanotoxicology, exposure, fate transport, structured making, participants developed support relating key physicochemical product characteristics important hazard exposure indicators. Application preliminary nano-risk-screening tool (NRST) several test cases illustrates utility approach both identifying drive highlighting opportunities redesign minimize risks. aiding managers’ decisions under uncertainty provides foundation transparent adaptable can
