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

Are nanomaterials getting under your skin? 20 May 2020 A recent study has analysed existing research on whether nanomaterials used in consumer products and at workplaces are absorbed through the skin. The study calls for more comparable and high-quality data through well-organised and structured research programmes that follow OECD test guidelines. News More news RSS 6 April 2020 Female fertility data lacking for nanomaterials A study commissioned by the EU Observatory for Nanomaterials found a lack of data on female fertility. Studies on reproductive performance were also scarce. The study calls for more coordinated tests and follow up of outcomes when concerns are identified. 24 February 2020 Companies need to provide more data on nanoforms ECHA has so far received a low number of registration dossiers for nanomaterials. By 1 January 2020, only 36 substances covering nanoforms have been registered according to the updated REACH requirements – 10 % of what the Agency expected. 14 February 2020 European Commission asks for scientific advice on safety of nanomaterials used in cosmetics The European Commission has requested the SCCS for advice on the safety of nanomaterials used in cosmetics to establish a priority list for risk assessment and to assess if a potential risk can be identified. 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.
