Comprehensive framework for human health risk assessment of nanopesticides
Nanopesticides are not only in an advanced state of research and development but have started to appear on the market. Industry and regulatory agencies need a consolidated and comprehensive framework and guidance for human health risk assessments. In this perspective the authors of this article develop such a comprehensive framework by exploring two case studies from relevant product types: an active ingredient delivered with a nanocarrier system, and a nanoparticle as an active ingredient.
The article was published in the Journal nature nanotechnology. The authors Andreas Haase and Vera Ritz work for the BfR.
