Abstract

The health impact assessment and control of nanostructures has been recognized as part of the key areas of nano science. Sustainable development of nanotechnologies in clinical as well as in other relevant industrial application must avoid any adverse effect on the health of humans and environments exposed to nanomaterials, justifying close attention to safety issues. In particular, the concrete possibility to act on material design to mitigate any adverse biological effect (safer by molecular design approach) represents one of the most recent and amazing capabilities to design out risk at the source. The components of a “Nano design” framework for designing a new generation of “safer” engineered nanomaterials is introduced and some examples of its integration within realistic nano manufacturing exposure scenarios is discussed.
