Nanomaterials and Human Health & Metrology

随着具有新特性的新型生物生成纳米材料的发现稳步增加，以及它们在消费品和制造业中的使用增加，定期评估这些新材料的最新技术水平及其对人类和人类健康的影响至关重要。 本次研讨会通过汇集来自学术界、工业界、政府和非营利消费者倡导团体的利益相关者和专家来讨论该领域的现状，从而满足了这一需求。 本次研讨会阐明了我们在理解纳米材料如何与人体细胞相互作用方面的进展，在纳米毒理学和计量学领域取得的进展，以及在确定我们目前知识的差距和未来十年需要解决的迫在眉睫的挑战方面。讲习班的更广泛影响包括与一般不相互沟通的各种利益攸关方群体进行对话。 通过互联网现场直播会议，促进公众和其他有关各方广泛参与。 召集人在选择指导委员会成员和论坛发言人方面也对多样性保持敏感。

With the steady increase of discovery of new anthropogenically generated nanomaterials with novel properties and the increase in their use in consumer products and manufacturing, periodic assessments of the state-of-the-art and the impacts of these new materials on people and human health is essential. This workshop responds to this need by bringing together stakeholders and experts from academia, industry, the government, and non-profit consumer advocate groups to discuss the state of the field. This workshop sheds light on the where we are in terms of understanding how nanomaterials interact with cells in the human body, on advances being made in the field of nano-toxicology and metrology, and in identifying gaps in our present knowledge and looming challenges that need to be addressed in the next decade. Broader impacts of the workshop include engaging in dialog a diverse group of stakeholders that do not generally communicate with each other. Broad participation by the public and other interested parties is fostered via live broadcast of the meeting over the Internet. Conveners have also been sensitive to diversity in terms of selecting steering committee members and forum speakers.
