Avdelning: Ergonomics and Aerosol Technology
Kurstyp: Ren forskarutbildningskurs
Undervisningsspråk: English
The aim of Part 1 is to mediate knowledge of safe manufacturing and handling of engineered nanoparticles and of nanomaterials i.e. materials containing nanoparticles, in the perspective of human health and of environment. Aspects such as safety important particle characteristics, exposure- and emission assessment, nano toxicology, precautionary principle, safe-by-design, human-technology interaction, risk assessment, risk management, risk communication, life cycle analysis, legislation, and ethical aspects will be covered. The aim of Part 2 is to analyze, estimate, evaluate, judge, and communicate the human, societal, and environmental impacts of nanomaterials in one's own research, using terms, concepts, and risk management models obtained during Part 1.

Detailed description of the different examination formats, Part 1: 1) Approved individual home assignment before course start (summarize two scientific papers), and discussion of these in groups at start of course week 1; 2) 80% minimum participation to the lectures (1.5 weeks); 3) Approved group task to be done between course week 1 and course week 2, presented in writing and orally during course week 2; 4) Participation in laboratory exercise; 5) Approved final home assignment after course week 2 (hazard identification connected to doctoral student’s own research).
Part 2: Approved report and oral presentation of health risk assessment (hazard, dose-response, exposure analysis), risk management and risk communication plan related to student's own research
Betygsskala: Underkänd, godkänd
Examinator:
Förkunskapskrav: The course is open for PhD students within the fields of engineering, science, and medicine. PhD students within Nanolund have priority. The course is also open for representatives from industry and legislation. Master students with a documented interest in nanosafety, or doing there master's thesis in this field, can be admitted if there are vacancies available.
Urvalskriterier: PhD students affiliated to NanoLund have priority.
Course coordinator: Christina Isaxon. Part 1 of this course is identic with the course "Nanosafety", 5 hp. Part 2 of this course is a project.
