Summary

  • INL has published a free, open-access book pulling together multidisciplinary expertise on how nanomaterials affect human health and the environment.

  • The resource spans nanotoxicology, immunotoxicology, genotoxicity, and epigenetics, making it a practical reference for anyone working on safe nanomaterial development.

NIA member International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL) has released "Nanosafety: A Comprehensive Approach to Assess Nanomaterial Exposure on the Environment and Health," an open-access book edited by INL Group Leader Ernesto Alfaro-Moreno and Fiona Murphy.

The book provides multidisciplinary perspectives on nanotoxicology, immunotoxicology, genotoxicity, and epigenetics, offering practical guidance for safe nanomaterial development and application. Contributors from INL's research groups collaborated on the publication, supported by European projects including SINFONIA ERA Chair and SbDToolBox.

The book features contributions from eleven INL researchers and reflects collaborative nanosafety work and commitment to responsible innovation.
