We are passionate about addressing the world’s challenges, and we have identified a wide range of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that our research helps address. The United Nations set up 17 goals to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. They are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and improve the lives and prospects of everyone,

With nanotechnology we have keys to new solutions for a more sustainable society and a healthier planet. We work to share our knowledge in order to help address important needs in society and to inspire young people to engage in the development of nanoscience. We invite companies and public authorities to collaborate with us so that we can apply nanotechnology in our society in new and safe ways.

Q: How are nanoproducts and nanomaterial recycled?A: Currently, products that contains nanomaterials are not recycled in any other way than all other products Regulations and policies for how to declare any nano-contents in a product are lacking. This means that at places (e g Sysav) where recycling is conducted, there is no way to know if there is any risk for occupational exposure of nanoparticl

Q: Is it expensive to manufacture nanoproducts?A: It depends a lot on what types of nanostructures that the product consists of, and what you mean by expensive.  Nanoparticles of mixed sizes, such as zink oxide for paint, can often be manufactured in large quantities. Modern microchips, in which the smallest structures are less than 10 nm, are expensive to manufacture, but the high value of the fi

Q: Are nanoparticles/nanotechnology dangerous for humans?A: The overarching purpose of nanotechnology is to create better circumstances for humans and environment. If the nano industry can grow, it can help us to solve the energy crisis, save the environment, and diagnose and cure adverse diseases. Nanotechnology can be used for cheap and easy water purification, available and cheap energy, faster

Q: Are nanoparticle-containing sunscreens and cosmetics dangerous? Can the nanoparticles penetrate our skin?A: In 2015 it was concluded [Naess, 2015] that none of the existing studies on skin penetration of nano titanium dioxide and nano zinc oxide (both common components of sunscreen, especially nano titanium dioxide) reported any evidence of skin penetration – except for one case, in which the p

Q: Are there any general guidelines to follow, since there are no occupational exposure limits specific for nanomaterials?A: The precautionary principle should always be applied as long as the specific toxicity is not fully evaluated and as long as there are no nanospecific occupational exposure limits. This means that companies/industries that produce or handle nanomaterial should apply a high le

Q: How is nanoparticle exposure measured?A: The traditional exposure assessment is focused on wide size fractions, e.g., all particles below 10 μm (PM10) or 2.5 μm (PM2.5) in ambient measurements, or below 4 μm (respirable fraction) in workplace exposure  assessment. These measurements determine the total mass concentration of the respective particle size fraction. The mass concentration scales wi
