the *To.Sca.Lake 3.0: Total Scattering for
Nanotechnology on the Como Lake*, to be held at Villa del Grumello in Como
(Italy), May 27th-May 31st 2019.
The School is addressed to PhD students and young postdocs and open to
scientists in any area related to Nanoscience and Nanotechnology; it is
intended to provide lectures, demos and tutorial sessions on innovative
methods for nanomaterial characterization, based on Wide and Small Angle
X-ray Scattering, Dynamic/Static Light Scattering Techniques, their
complementarity and joint use.
Information on the Program, Venue, Registration and availability of Grants
for young attendees can be found at *tsnl2019.lakecomoschool.org*

The School will be open to 50 qualified students. For *Regular Applicants* acceptance
will be “on a first come – first served” basis; for *Applicants requesting
a financial support* (under 35 years) selection will be upon evaluation.
Opening of Registrations and Grant application is December 1st, 2018.

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.
