NSF Nano workshop: Safety aspects of nanosystems and infrastructure for sustainability, Orlando, Florida, December 8-9, 2011

1201951密封虽然有一个机构的研究，解决环境和健康问题的EHS（环境，健康，安全）， 所涉及的安全问题没有经常得到审查。 该研讨会将审查纳米安全领域的研究状况和研究需求。智力优势：为了解决安全问题，这个研讨会，“NSF纳米研讨会：纳米系统和可持续发展基础设施的安全方面（SANIS）将在中央大学佛罗里达，奥兰多，佛罗里达州，2011年12月8日至9日举行。研讨会的主要主题是：-个人保护免受纳米暴露-纳米安全监测仪器-纳米存储安全和处理和处置-实验室（罩，水槽，存储等）和基础设施设计的纳米研究-信息共享，以保持一个安全的环境，为纳米研究邀请专家聚集在一起，以解决这一安全问题将带来广泛的影响，纳米技术的研发，并将有利于区域和全球经济。据设想，该讲习班将提供一个机会，讨论与纳米科学和技术安全有关的重要研究活动。该活动将由多元化的社区组成，包括来自学术界、工业界和国家实验室的知名专家。研讨会旨在深入讨论纳米安全的当前趋势和未来挑战。更广泛的影响：预计讲习班还将使研究人员对发展和进一步扩大合作研究活动产生足够的兴趣。与杰出研究人员的讨论将带来新的研究合作和学术交流领域。此外，绝对有必要培养一批能够跨传统学科工作的新型安全研究人员。这对纳米结构科学和技术的未来至关重要。

1201951SealWhile there is a body of research addressing the environment and health issues of EHS (environment, health, safety), the safety issues involved are not examined as frequently. This workshop will examine the state of the research and needs for research in the area of nano-safety. Intellectual Merit: To address the safety issues, this workshop, "NSF Nano workshop: Safety Aspects of Nanosystems and Infrastructure for Sustainability (SANIS) will be held at University of Central Florida, Orlando, Fl, 8-9th Dec, 2011. The main topics of the workshop are: -Personal protection from nano exposure -Instrumentation for nanosafety monitoring -Nano storage safety and handling and disposal -Lab (Hood, sink, storage, etc.) and infrastructure design for nano-research -Information sharing to keep a safe environment for nano-research The gathering of invited experts to address this safety issues will bring a broad impact to nanotechnology R&D and will be beneficial to the regional and global economy. It is envisioned that this workshop will provide an opportunity to discuss important research activities relating to safety in nanoscience and technology. The event will comprise a diverse community, including renowned experts from academia, industry and national laboratories. The workshop aims to discuss in-depth the current trends and future challenges of nano-safety. Broader Impact: The workshop is also expected to create a sufficient interest among the researchers to develop and further expands cooperative research activities. Discussions with the prominent researchers will lead to new areas of research cooperation and academic exchange. In addition, it is an absolute necessity to create a new breed of safety researchers who can work across traditional disciplines. This is vital to the future of nanostructure science and technology.
