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

1201951Seal虽然有大量关于EHS的环境和健康问题(环境、健康、安全)的研究，但涉及的安全问题并不经常被检查。这次研讨会将审查纳米安全领域的研究状况和研究需求。学术价值：为了解决安全问题，这个名为“NSF纳米研讨会：可持续发展的纳米系统和基础设施的安全方面”(SANIS)的研讨会将于2011年12月8日至9日在佛罗里达州奥兰多的中佛罗里达大学举行。研讨会的主要主题是：-个人防护-纳米安全监测仪器-纳米储存安全及搬运和处置-实验室(罩、水槽、储存等)纳米研究和基础设施设计--信息共享保持纳米研究的安全环境邀请专家齐聚一堂，解决这一安全问题，将给纳米技术研发带来广泛的影响，并将有利于地区和全球经济。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。这次活动将包括一个不同的社区，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：预计研讨会还将在研究人员中引起足够的兴趣，以发展和进一步扩大合作研究活动。与知名研究人员的讨论将导致研究合作和学术交流的新领域。此外，培养一批能够跨传统学科工作的新型安全研究人员是绝对必要的。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.
