1 Nanotechnology and human health impact A framework for strategic research? Andrew D. Maynard Chief Science Advisor Woodrow Wilson Center, Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies 1
2 Challenge! Nanotechnology has great potential Revolutionary Technology Engine of Innovation Many societal and environmental benefits anticipated! BUT.. There may be unanticipated roadblocks, including unexpected risk to human health and the environment! Sustainable nanotechnology will depend on Societal Acceptance Minimizing risk Maximizing benefits Woodrow Wilson Center, Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies 2
3 Framework for Strategic Research Human Health Implications Sustainable Nanotechnology Specificity Risk Assessment Existing Knowledge Characterization Integration Interdisciplinary Collaboration Global Partnerships Rationality Woodrow Wilson Center, Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies 3
4 Framework for Strategic Research Human Health Implications Sustainable Nanotechnology Specificity Woodrow Wilson Center, Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies 4
5 Specificity! Nanotechnology is: Diverse Enabling Transient Cross-disciplinary Generic! Implications-focused research must: Be materials, devices and products-specific Differentiate between materials and products presenting significant, marginal and no potential nano-specific risk Woodrow Wilson Center, Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies 5
6 Setting Boundaries Engineered nanomaterials which potentially present new challenges! Criteria: Nanomaterials capable of entering or interacting with the body Nanomaterials which potentially exhibit nanostructure-dependent biological activity Nanoparticles Simple, complex, smart. Aerosols, powders, suspensions, slurries Comminution Aerosols from grinding, cutting, machining nanomaterials Agglomerates or aggregates of nanoparticles Degredation/Failure Aerosols and suspensions resulting from degradation and failure of nanomaterials Aerosolized suspensions Including slurries and solutions of nanomaterials? Unintentional use Potential exposure from unanticipated/unintentional use Woodrow Wilson Center, Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies
7 Framework for Strategic Research Human Health Implications Sustainable Nanotechnology Specificity Existing Knowledge Woodrow Wilson Center, Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies 7
8 Existing Knowledge! Nanotechnology is new, unique and innovative, but Over 100 years of health-impact knowledge counts for something! Similarity, analogy and first principles: Aerosol behavior Exposure control Health effects - general Hazard - ultrafines Physicochemical significance - e.g. asbestos and crystalline silica! Extrapolation can be dangerous, but used wisely it can provide strategic direction Woodrow Wilson Center, Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies 8
9 Lessons from conventional materials Comparison of insoluble materials with different biological activities 10 Inflammatory Response (PMN cont x10 6 ) Fine TiO (Tran) 2 Fine TiO (Oberdörster) 2 BaSO (Tran) 4 Ultrafine TiO (Oberdörster) 2 Crystalline SiO (Porter) Particle Surface Area Dose (m 2 /lung) Maynard and Kuempel (2005) Woodrow Wilson Center, Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies 9
10 Framework for Strategic Research Human Health Implications Sustainable Nanotechnology Specificity Existing Knowledge Integration Woodrow Wilson Center, Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies 10
11 Integration! The reactive, linear, compartmentalized model: Chemists make the stuff, Epidemiologists document who gets sick, Toxicologists tell us why, Risk Assessors quantify the likelihood of getting sick, and hygienists help reduce the chances of getting sick.! This will not work for new technologies Complexity Emergent behavior Unacceptable social burden! The proactive holistic (systemic) model: Integration of risk-based and applications-based research to preempt and proactively minimize adverse health impact. Woodrow Wilson Center, Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies 11
12 Framework for Strategic Research Human Health Implications Sustainable Nanotechnology Specificity Existing Knowledge Integration Risk Assessment Woodrow Wilson Center, Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies 12
13 Risk Assessment (Simplified schematic) Exposure routes Exposure Characterization Dose Outreach Risk Control Reduced risk/impact Health Effects Toxicity Woodrow Wilson Center, Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies 13
14 Framework for Strategic Research Human Health Implications Sustainable Nanotechnology Specificity Existing Knowledge Integration Risk Assessment Characterization Woodrow Wilson Center, Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies 14
15 Characterization! Risk can not be quantified and quantitatively reduced without an accurate description of the materials and products being used.! The complexity of many nanomaterials demands sophisticated characterization - frequently beyond what is considered normal The dependence of nanomaterial behavior on physical and chemical properties places stringent requirements on physicochemical characterization, and includes assessing a range of properties Oberdörster et al. Particle and Fibre Toxicology :8 Woodrow Wilson Center, Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies 15
16 Example Airborne Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes Nanotubes Nanoropes Non-tubular carbon Catalyst particles Woodrow Wilson Center, Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies 16
17 Framework for Strategic Research Human Health Implications Sustainable Nanotechnology Specificity Risk Assessment Existing Knowledge Characterization Integration Interdisciplinary Collaboration Woodrow Wilson Center, Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies 17
18 Interdisciplinary Collaboration! Major scientific breakthroughs occur in the grey regions between established disciplines and fields of research! Nanotechnology is no exception! Understanding implications to human health will also require working together in [sometimes] uncharted waters between disciplines Woodrow Wilson Center, Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies 18
19 Framework for Strategic Research Human Health Implications Sustainable Nanotechnology Specificity Risk Assessment Existing Knowledge Characterization Integration Interdisciplinary Collaboration Global Partnerships Rationality Woodrow Wilson Center, Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies 19
20 Global Collaboration! Global implications require global cooperation and collaboration! Complex problems require coordinated approaches to finding solutions! Resources are limited! Synergism Woodrow Wilson Center, Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies 20
21 Rationality Cutting through the hype! Nanotechnology is revolutionary but we ve been through technology revolutions before! Nanomaterials have unique properties but the body responds to foreign materials in limited ways! Little is known about the health impact of engineered nanomaterials but we re not starting out from a point of total ignorance Beyond the hype and confusion, sustainable nanotechnology will ultimately depend on scientifically valid questions being asked, and scientifically robust answers being found.
