The UCD nanosafety workshop (03 December 2018): towards developing a consensus on safe handling of nanomaterials within the Irish university labs and beyond – a report

Careful handling of the nanomaterials (NMs) in research labs is crucial to ensure a safe working environment. As the largest university in Ireland, University College Dublin (UCD) has invested significant resources to update researchers working with NMs. Due to sizes often in vitro and in vivo scenarios, practical cases simulating situations faced frequently in the labs were discussed. This report summarizes the findings made during the workshop by this emerging critical mass in UCD.
