International Environmental Nanotechnology Conference: Applications and Implications

Paul TratnyekOGI科学与工程学院提案0745206研讨会：国际环境纳米技术会议：应用和影响本次会议之后，在芝加哥，IL的区域5办事处举行了为期2天的现场修复研讨会。100多名与会者参加了会议，其中包括直接参与危险废物场地清理工作的环境保护局区域项目经理。讲习班讨论了利用最先进的纳米材料进行场地补救的问题。此外，生态 在纳米技术应用于补救、监测和治疗方面的研究和实践日益增多，因此有必要召开一次更新的会议，讨论该领域的新研究和实践。因此，我们建议于2008年春末在芝加哥举行国际环境纳米技术会议：应用和影响，与会者200至300人。这个新的会议将讨论水，土壤，沉积物和空气中有毒物质的修复应用。会议还将讨论使用这些纳米材料对环境和人类健康的影响。会议的目的是汇集国家和国际专家，审查纳米技术的研究和实践状况，因为它适用于补救，监测，治疗，以及这些技术的可能风险。

Paul TratnyekOGI School of Science and EngineeringProposal 0745206Workshop: International Environmental Nanotechnology Conference: Applicationsand ImplicationsThis conference was followed in 2006 by a 2-day site remediation workshop at Region 5 offices in Chicago, IL. Over100 participants attended, including EPA regional project managers who are directly involved in hazardous waste site clean-ups. The workshop addressed site remediation using state of the art nanomaterials. In addition, ecological and human risk analysis for the use of nanomaterials in the environment was presented.Increasing research and practice in the application of nanotechnology for remediation, monitoring, and treatment justifies an updated conference addressing new research and practice in the field. As a result, we are proposing the International Environmental Nanotechnology Conference: Applications and Implications to be held in late spring of 2008 in Chicago with 200 to 300 participants. This new conference will address applications for remediation of toxic substances in water, soil, sediment, and air. The conference will also address environment and human health implications of the use of these nanomaterials.The purpose of the conference is to bring together national and international experts to examine the state of the research and practice in nanotechnology as it applies to remediation, monitoring, treatment, and possible risk of these technologies.
