The NanoMeter

The NanoMeter is a tool for the assessment of applications that are enabled by nanotechnologies. It covers aspects such as health, environment, ethics, and societal issues beyond standard product assessment.

Purpose: Identify opportunities and risks of single applications.

Results:
•    Identification of knowledge gaps.
•    Overview on aspects where the application could possibly be improved.
•    Basis for specific measures to assure performance and public acceptance and support market success.

Assessment process:
•    Start from a nanotechnology-enabled product, ingredient or application (currently under development or already on the market).
•    Answer questions that guide you through relevant opportunity and risk areas.
•    Follow “further information” links if needed.
•    View your condensed results as a PDF document.
•    Share your findings and perception with colleagues or partners.
