Our (work) environment has an important, and potentially avoidable, impact on our health.

What will be your role?

Our (work) environment has an important, and potentially avoidable, impact on our health. For the technology cluster ‘Exposure Assessment and risk management’ we are continuously looking for students interested in an internship in one of the following domains:
  • When working with asbestos, the release of fibres can present a hazard to both the worker and the environment. TNO collaborates with various stakeholders on innovative solutions to enable people to work in a healthy environment and limit risks to both people and their surroundings.
  • The concept 'exposome' – the totality of exposure of a person experiences during his or her lifetime –can help to increase knowledge about exposure-response relations (e.g. by using new sensor technology) and enable the development of preventive measures.
  • We develop predictive models for exposure and risk contributing to safer workplaces. Recent tools we developed include (d)ART ((dermal) Advanced REACH Tool), ECEL (Exposure Control Efficacy Library) and Stoffenmanager.
  • TNO has expertise in every aspect of nano material safety based on ongoing work in European and National research projects as well as business to business projects. We provide practical and pragmatic advise for different group of stakeholders.
  • To minimize human health risks caused by biological agents and plant protection products TNO conducts exposure- and risk assessment and management including field studies and model development.
  • If you are interested in one of these topics or other related topics, and what to know the internship possibilities, please contact.
