ASINA – ANTICIPATING SAFETY ISSUES AT THE DESIGN STAGE OF NANO PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Project: 86244
Call ID: NMBP-15-2019 Safe by design, from science to regulation: metrics and main sectors (RIA)
The Horizon 2020 ASINA project (Anticipating safety issues at the design stage of nano product development) aims to implement “safe-by-design” strategies for the development of intrinsically safe nanomaterials with low risk for human health and the environment.
The projects is coordinated by CNR-ISTEC which sees the participation of 21 members, including research centres, universities, SMEs, and European and non-European non-governmental organizations (NGOs), belonging to 8 different European countries.
The title of the call to which we responded is: “Safe for design: from science to regulation”.
Project Coordinator: Prof. Anna Luisa Costa
Partner UNIMIB – POLARIS. Prof. Paride Mantecca is leader of WP2 -MATERIAL SAFETY DESIGN CRITERIA, whose objectives are:
- determine the design criteria for exposure to NMs, through the identification of p-chem (chemical-physical) parameters that modulate the biological responses in terms of exposure scenarios
- determine the design criteria for exposure to NMs, through the identification of p-chem (chemical-physical) parameters that modulate biological responses following an initial molecular event and/or specific steps present within adverse outcome pathways ( AOPs) already characterized
- use and adaptation of frameworks for risk calculation (risk assessment) in the context of ASINA, providing practical indications for the read-across of materials
