Nanotechnology, global development in the frame of environmental risk forecasting. A necessity of interdisciplinary researches

Daniel Borschneck

Résumé

Interdisciplinarity is of first importance to evaluate the risks associated with nanotechnology. The reasons are that nanomaterials are very new materials that combine nano-sizes and new reactivities. The complexity comes from the very low concentrations of nanomaterials in the environmental medium, the transformations of the nanomaterials due to the reactivity of the surface, the transfer in the environmental media, particularly in the presence of liquid water (soils, sediments, surface water), which implies an association with natural colloids (organic or minerals) and blockage in some compartments. These properties govern the hazard that strongly depends on exposure and speciation. (C) 2014 Academie des sciences. Published by Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
