Grenoble
| The platform focuses on three main nanosafety topics:
- Detection, identification, fine characterization, monitoring, and HSE audit
- Safer-by-design approaches to materials and processes to ensure that HSE risks and their potential impacts are addressed from the design phase. These approaches also integrate sustainability aspects throughout the material's lifecycle. The overriding objective is to develop tomorrow's innovative, safe, and sustainable products and processes
- The development of particle counting and trapping solutions
The platform is organized around two units:
-
R&D, with five focus areas: toxicology, ecotoxicology, integration of nanomaterials in industrial processes and the lifecycle, industrial health, characterization, and methods
-
Emissions assessments to determine potential exposure (workers, consumers, the environment) and three types of on-site services: measurement (workstation and employee health monitoring); consulting (recommendations, audits, design/use assistance); and training (operators, prevention workers, first responders),
