Please find attached the final announcement of a spICP-MS data analysis training workshop, which will be held at RIKILT - Wageningen University & Research (The Netherlands) from the 10th to the 12th of January 2017.
The workshop will focus on introduction to, handling and analysis of single particle ICP-MS data obtained from the measurement of simple and complex nanoparticle samples. The spICP-MS data will be analysed with the help of the RIKILT Excel calculation sheet and Nanocount software.
The workshop is designed for PhD students and researchers from academia, industry and institutes experienced or interested in the nano characterization field.
The workshop is free of charge and only a limited number of places is available. Please register at http://www.wur.nl/en/activity/spICP-MS-data-analysis-workshop.htm
Deadline for registration is the 9th December 2016, 12pm CEST.

Addition of titanium dioxide (TiO2) (nano)particles into photocatalytic paints represents a promising alternative aiming to mineralize gaseous pollutants, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into innocuous species (H2O and CO2). Despite important industrial and economic benefits, some concerns were raised regarding the risks associated with nano-objects and their human and environmental impacts.
Silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) are widely used as biocides, leading to contamination of the environment and possible adverse effects on humans. Recent studies revealed that the cellular response to acute exposure to Ag-NPs differs from the response to chronic exposure, although we currently lack systematic studies comparing responses to different dosing regimens.
Indoor aquatic mesocosms are increasingly used in nanosafety to assess the behavior, fate, and impacts of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) in aquatic environments using relevant exposure scenarios.
In recent years, nanotechnologies have led to undeniable progress in any domains, such as electronics, materials and medicine. Despite the benefits of such a technology, a careful assessment of the potential risks for Human and Environmental health have to be studied. Assessing exposure and hazard to nanomaterials is a major challenge in the field of environmental sciences.
