Innovative, safe and sustainable technologies

The POLARIS Interdepartmental Centre studies new materials from the point of view of their safety and sustainability according to the principle ‘Safe and sustainable by Design (SSbD)’. Specifically, this concerns:

Toxicity assessment and mechanistic studies, based on the

chemical-physical properties of nanomaterials

Development of safe, sustainable and innovative (nano)technologies, with assessment

of their safety throughtout the entire life cycle (circularity)

Study of emerging contaminants, their impact on health

and risk prevention and mitigation strategies

This page collects the research projects on the topic “Innovative, safe and sustainable technologies” of the POLARIS Interdepartmental Centre currently underway, which have been funded by Italian and foreign/international institutions.
