ECETOC and EEMS (European Environmental Mutagen Society) will co-organise a symposium on the toxicology/genotoxicity of manufactured nanoparticles this 9-13 September in Basel.

The aim is to present new data from on-going industry/academic projects on the genotoxicity and draw attention to related relevant toxicological aspects of manufactured nanoparticles.

The symposium will be held on Tuesday 11 September 2007 in Basel as part of the EEMS 2007 annual conference . It will be open to all registered conference participants.
