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

Updating our language - why we should not paint all nanoforms with the same brush 1 June 2021 Read out latest Nanopinion guest column from Chiara Venturini, Director General at Nanotechnology Industries Association (NIA), who talks about the lack of precision with the word “nanomaterials” and the need to have a more detailed language when talking about them. News More news 21 May 2021 EUON stakeholder survey on nanomaterials available in the EU market The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), as part of the activities of the European Union Observatory for Nanomaterials (EUON), have launched a stakeholder survey on the substances available as nanomaterials in the EU market. Survey is conducted by the NovaMechanics Ltd. 10 May 2021 Stakeholder consultation on the definition of nanomaterial The European Commission is working on a review process of its Recommendation 2011/696/EU on the definition of nanomaterial. As part of this process, the Commission is now launching an online targeted stakeholder consultation. 29 April 2021 Biotransformation of nanomaterials while transferring in food chain Read out latest Nanopinion guest column from Dr. Fazel A. Monikh, who talks about the importance of understanding the behaviour of nanomaterials in organisms’ tissues and bodies Nanomaterials and health 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.
