Scientists have formulated risk evaluation criteria to enable specialists to make policy and innovation decisions for engineered nanomaterials. The Framework Programme 7 Nanohouse project, worth €2.4 million, known as the ‘Life cycle of nanoparticle-based products used in house coating’ has developed new ways to determine the risks offered by nanomaterials to the environment and human health. The theme of the FP7 project was ‘Nanosciences, nanotechnologies, materials and new production technologies’. It has been assessed that the nanomaterials design can influence the abrupt emission of particles.
