Environmental Health and Safety of Nano and Other Advanced Materials: Challenges and Opportunities

Environmental Health and Safety of Nanomaterials

Symposium Chair

Philip Demokritou
Director of the Center for Nanotechnology and Nanotoxicology
Harvard School of Public Health

Key Speakers

Enhancing agrichemical delivery and plant development with biopolymer-based stimuli responsive nanoplatforms
Jason C. White
Director, The Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station (CAES)

This symposium highlights the latest applications-focused research, and facilitates discussions on issues related to environmental health and safety for advanced materials - including sessions specifically focused on nanomaterials and nanotechnology.

You are invited to submit an abstract describing your work on life cycle implications, risk assessment, policy issues, and environmental applications for the exciting new materials highlighted at the TechConnect World Innovation Conference, and at Nanotech - the worlds largest nanotechnology event.
