NIT Andhra Pradesh conducts Online Course on ‘Risk and Life Cycle Assessment of Engineered Nanoparticles in the Environment’

:- Being held from March 14 and 18 2022, the course will be of interest to students, researchers, faculty and private firms keen to learn about nanomaterials, their properties & risk

 

Tadepalligudem: National Institute of Technology Andhra Pradesh is conducting a short-term Online GIAN Course on ‘Risk and Life Cycle Assessment of Engineered Nanoparticles in the Environment’ between March 14 and 18 2022.

The course is open to students pursuing post-graduate degrees in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Biochemical Engineering and Biotechnology and researchers from government organizations including R&D laboratories and private firms. Also, faculty from academic Institutions from Engineering and Life Sciences interested in risk assessment can also join this online course.

This online course is organized by Department of Civil Engineering, NIT Andhra Pradesh and sponsored by Global Initiative for Academic Networks (GIAN), Ministry of Education, Government of India. 

The primary objectives of the course are:

i)        Exposing participants to the fundamentals of ENPs behavior in different environmental matrices including water and soil;

ii)       Understanding the chemistry behind the interaction of ENPs with microbes, characterization techniques to elucidate interactions, and evaluation of toxicity; and

a.       Enhancing the capability of the participants to:

b.       Determine the Concentration of ENPs in Aqueous Environment.

c.       Risk Assessment, Risk Communication and Risk Management

d.       Life Cycle Analysis

The participants of this course will understand the concepts outlined above, through lectures and case studies.
