Europe's Nanosafe2 Program

BASF has released news that it will participate in the Nanosafe2 program to better understand risks associated with the use of nanoparticles. Nanosafe2 establishes processes to detect, track and characterize nanoparticles by looking at the entire lifecycle of nanoparticles, from their production and storage through to transport and use in a finished product. “As part of the EU project, we will be carrying out studies to increase our understanding of the possible health risks associated with the inhalation of nanoparticles,” explained Dr. Edgar Leibold from BASF’s Toxicology department.
