나노제품의 안전성은, 나노제품에 사용된 나노물질의 독성과 나노물질의 노출가능성을 동시에 고려함으로써 평가할 수 있다. 본 문서는 나노물질의 독성 데이터는 이미 확보된 것으로 가정하고, 나노제품의 안전성을 향상시키는 설계 절차에 대하여 기술한다. 나노제품에서 나노물질이 노출되는 정도를 기계적인 손상의 관점에서 평가함으로써 노출 가능성을 추정하고, 이 추정치를 나노물질의 독성값 및 노출 한계와 비교함으로써 나노제품의 안전성을 평가하거나 예측한다. 나노제품의 설계 단계에서 이러한 안전성 평가 및 예측 방안을 적용하는 방법을 설명한다.

Recently, the social issue about harmful effects of nano-materials including nano-products to human body and environment have been raised, which were not expected in times past. To prevent the risks of nano-materials on the environment and human body, the regulatory policies are reinforced to ensure public health in world trends. In Korea, governmental department has prepared the policy for 'National nano-safety Management Master Plan' since 2011. However, it is very hard to manage all kinds of nano-materials, due to lack of nano-safety law and a wide range of nano-technology application. This study aims to analyze the current situation of the national policy related to nano-safety management and legislation, and also review the limitation of current system to propose improvement plan for nano-safety.

나노기술의 발전과 함께 나노소재의 활용과 이를 이용한 나노제품의 개발 및 상용화가 가속되고 있다. 나노소재의 우수한 특성과 이를 이용한 새로운 응용 제품의 연구는 매우 활발하지만, 나노소재가 동반할 수 있는 위해성에 대한 연구와 이를 방지하기 위한 노력은 미미한 상태이다. 본 원고에서는 나노소재를 이용하는 나노제품의 안전성 설계 기술에 대한 동향과 전망을 제시하고자 하며, 구체적으로는 나노소재가 지니는 위해성에 대한 연구 동향, 나노소재의 노출에 대한 전주기적 평가 기술에 대한 연구 동향, 나노제품의 안전성 평가 및 전산해석 그리고 설계기술의 구축에 대한 연구 동향을 제시한다. 가까운 장래에 나노제품이 일반화될 시점에서는 이러한 안전성 설계 기술의 필요성이 크게 대두될 것으로 전망되며, 연구기관이나 관련 기업에서 이에 대한 준비와 인프라 구축이 필요하다.

Recent rapidly growth in nanotechnolgies is promised novel benefits through the exploitation of their unique industrial and biomedical applications. In addition, these nanomaterials and nano-consumer products have increased in quantity per year, and thus their uncontrolled release into the environment is anticipated to grow dramatically in future. Many papers for cytotoxicity of nanomaterials have been already reported, and thus government supports has funded to various research topics for nanosafety. Herein, we analyzed the importance and performance of nanosafety researches and tried to show the research direction where we have to go.

The number of nanotechnology based consumer products are growing rapidly. Thus, the customer likely to be exposed to such products continues to increase as the applications expand. This article describes the international and Korea's policies on the EHS(Environment, Safety and Health) issues of nanotechnologies. The strategic plan and coordination of OECD and ISO were summarized. This article also examines several new findings of Korean researchers as well as current and future challenges in the aerosol application study of EHS issues on the nanotechnologies.

Recently as the reports on toxicity of some nanomaterials and the nanoproducts containing these nanomaterials are rapidly increasing, the safety management issues about nanomaterials and nanoproducts are emerging hot. Especially safety in the workplace and that of consumers and the protection of environment, in other words safeties throughout the life-cycle of nanomaterials and products become core issues. Despite the importance of such a safety management, however, it is very difficult to construct the hard regulatory framework for safety, owing to uncertainties and potentialities of nano-risk. In this paper I will look around the ethical principles and guidelines for safety management which are preferentially required before going into the discussion on the construction of hard-regulation such as law and something like that. Under the circumstance that hard-regulations for safety management are not implementable, these principles and guidelines are expected to play a leading part in building the responsible risk-governance framework for nanomaterials and nanoproducts, and finally to become a cornerstone of the hard risk-governance framework.

Nanomaterials, which have the issues related to toxicity, environmental exposures, and human health, have been focused on significance of their safety management. Regarding their higher applicability for multiple sectors from chemicals to consumer products, the most important thing is to consider international policy cases categorized by regulatory intensities, applicable sectors, and substance types for establishing of convincing safety management system on nanomaterials. For minimizing the nanomaterials' risk potential, developing the system that underlines a precautionary principle is also needed. Regulatory system on nanomaterials should be applicable to the status quo and be a proactive approach to rapidly changing international trends.

21세기 신기술은 나노기술(Nano Technology,NT)을 통해서 이뤄질 것으로 보인다. 로마를 통하지 않으면 어디로도 갈 수 없었던 것처럼 작게 생각하지 않으면 첨단기술에 접근할 수 없는 상황이 펼쳐지고 있다. 이전에 재료공학자ㆍ기계공학자 불리던 연구자들이 미지 세계 개척자로서 작은 것들을 새롭게 창조하는 '나노의 방주'에 서둘러 들어서고 있다. 나노의 방주에는 화학뿐만 아니라 물리ㆍ건축ㆍ공학 등이 자유롭게 넘나든다. 이들은 혜성처럼 등장한 나노라는 화두를 중심에 놓고 서로 영향을 주고받으며 기술의 향방을 결정하고 있다. 나노기술이 열려라 참깨식의 마술적 주문으로 작용하는 셈이다. 전능의 신 노릇을 하는 나노는 새로운 것을 만들어낼 뿐 아니라 다른 기술에 놀라운 능력을 부여하기도 한다. 종교인들이 신을 통해 새롭게 태어나듯 일상적 기술이 나노를 통하면 황금알을 낳는 신기술로 거듭나는 것이다. 그 이름에서도 알 수 있듯이 한국나노의료기는 현실보다는 미래지향적인 전략적 기업으로 발전을 거듭하고 있었다

Nano-packaging is defined as food packages produced with nanoparticles or using nanotechnology in their process. Nano-packaging has become more available in the current market because of its enhanced functional properties such as antimicrobial and barrier properties. However, consumers have worried about toxicity by migration of nanomaterials from packaging to food. Currently, many commercialized products are coated or composited with inorganic nanomaterials such as nanosilver, nanoclay, zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, and so on. In this study, nanomaterials used in food packaging were classified and the commercially available nano-packaging were screened. Study on the migration of nanomaterials in various food simulants was also summarized.
