Slide8Aim : Evaluate the risk and implement
appropriate prevention/protection measures
Simple model :Risk = Hazard x ExposureQuestion : How to quantify Hazard and Exposure ?Risk Analysis8
Slide9ContextNanotechnology = Emerging
technologyLack of information on NPs
Human toxicological effects are unknownSize make NPs difficult to detect/measure There are too many uncertainties It is difficult to quantify Hazard and Exposure Appropriate risk analysis method is requiredRisk Analysis9

Slide22Three different methods gave a similar
result : Risk
level is very highBut Protection measures are different : EPFL method - Fume hoodvs« Control Banding » - Full process enclosure + Expert adviceComparison between 3 methods22
Slide23Nowadays :Toxicology of NPs are not
well knownExposure to
NPs is difficult to measureNext step for CERN : Choose one method and implement measuresFuture :Development of standards for Nanotechnologies → ISO TC 229 in progressOccupational risk managementISO/DTS 12901-1ISO/NP TS 12901-2Conclusion23
