The use of material from the graphene family is predicted to increase in industrial settings in Sweden and around the world. With an increased use, an increased need of methods for exposure assessment follows.
During this workshop the findings from the project “Development of methods for exposure and risk assessment of occupational use of material in the graphene family” will be presented, followed by a discussion where the delegates are encouraged to participate.
➡️ Welcome to an open digital workshop the 7th November 09-11 at the link: https://gu-se.zoom.us/my/hakantinnerberg – no pre-registration is needed.
