Welcome to the European Union Observatory for Nanomaterials - European Observatory for Nanomaterials

Search for over 300 nanomaterials on the EU market 3 July 2019 The search uses REACH registrations, the cosmetic ingredients notification portal and the French and Belgian national inventories to make up the most comprehensive search for nanomaterials in the EU. It enables regulators to form a better view of available data and consumers to access chemical safety information. News More news RSS 18 July 2019 Help co-create nanotechnology for the health, energy and food sectors GoNano, an EU funded Horizon 2020 project invites you to share your thoughts on the first suggestions for future nanotechnology applications in the health, energy and food sectors as part of its co-creation process. 4 July 2019 Evaluating the EU Observatory for Nanomaterials Two years since its launch, the EUON has carried out a mid-term review to evaluate how it has met its objective of giving reliable information on the markets and safety aspects of nanomaterials in the EU. The findings show that the EUON is adding value to the EU debate on nanomaterials but more frequent and up-to-date information could strengthen it further. 11 April 2019 Open access to the JRC nanobiotechnology laboratory extended The European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) has opened a call to access the JRC Nanobiotechnology Laboratory for external researchers from the public and private sectors. The call is open until 7 June 2019. Nanomaterials in our lives Nanomaterials and health Are substances in nanoforms more dangerous than they are in their normal size? Some are and some are not. Just like any other chemical substance, nanomaterials have to be assessed separately. Fighting cancer using nanotechnology Nanomaterials are not only used in consumer products, but also in new and innovative medical treatments. Research has shown that nanoparticles can be used to damage and even destroy cancer cells from within.
