The production and use of nanomaterials (NMs) has increased over the last decades posing relevant questions on their risk after release exposure population or sub-populations. In this context, safe sustainable by design (SSbD) approach framework requires to assess potential hazard connected with intrinsic properties material along whole life cycle NM and/or nano enabled products. Moreover, in years, new advanced methodologies (NAMs) increasingly gained attention for alternative methods...
Microplastic pollution represents a global problem with negative impacts on aquatic environment and organisms' health. To date, most of the laboratory toxicological studies microplastics (MPs) have made use single commercial micro nano-polymers, which do not reflect heterogeneity environmental MPs. improve relevance hazard assessment, micrometer-sized plastic particles miscellaneous non-reusable waste plastics, size <100 µm <50 (waste microplastics, wMPs), were characterized by microscopic...
Biomass burning (BB) represents a global concern due to its impact on air pollution, health and climate change, resulting in 2.3 million premature deaths yearly. BB the residential sector is one of main sources primary Particulate Matter emissions. emits significant amount black brown carbon, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons, contributes secondary formation ozone by photochemical reaction volatile organic compounds nitrogen oxides. On other side, green renewable alternative source fossil...
Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are among the most widely used metal-based nanomaterials (NMs) and their applications in different products, also as antibacterial additives, increasing. In present manuscript, according to an adverse outcome pathway (AOP) approach, we tested two safe-by-design (SbD) newly developed Ag NPs coated with hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), namely AgHEC powder solution. These novel were compared reference (naked polyvinylpyrrolidone-PVP). Cell viability, inflammatory...
The current European (EU) policies, that is, the Green Deal, envisage safe and sustainable practices for chemicals, which include nanoforms (NFs), at earliest stages of innovation. A theoretically by design (SSbD) framework has been established from EU collaborative efforts toward definition quantitative criteria in each SSbD dimension, namely, human environmental safety dimension environmental, social, economic sustainability dimensions. In this study, we target demonstrate journey...
