Our latest book chapter describes risk assessment frameworks and state-of-the-art approaches to assess nanomaterial risk with a specific focus on life-cycle risk analysis. Case studies for carbon nanotubes and cellulose nanomaterials put these theories into practice, guiding readers through model risk assessment processes.

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) is requesting public comment regarding its draft guidance for the risk assessment of nanoscience and nanotechnology applications in the food and feed chain until March 4, 2018.
