Measurement Solutions for Nano EHS ~ Archive

Web Seminar Focus

The goal of the NIST program in Nano EHS is to develop new measurement methods and standards and to elucidate the underlying measurement science for physico-chemical characterization of nanoparticles (NPs) to enable manufacturers and regulators to assess the EHS risks of NPs, act to minimize such risks, and remediate existing hazards.

The NIST workplan encompasses the following three elements:

• Development of quantitative measurement methods for physico-chemical characterization of nanoparticles.
• Development of a series of nanoparticle Standard Reference Materials and Documentary Standards for use by stakeholders in assessment of EHS risks.

• Development of methods to quantify the interactions of nanoparticles with biological fluids and cells.

This 71 minute Web seminar presented examples of our approach culled from several classes of nanoparticles and describes opportunities for Nano EHS stakeholders to partner with NIST.

Speakers

• Steve Freiman, Freiman Consulting and Chair of ACerS EHS Issues in Nanomaterials Workshop

• Clare Allocca, Director, United States Measurement System, National Institute of Standards and Technology

• Kalman Migler, Group Leader, National Institute of Standards and Technology
