Välkommen till Europeiska unionens observatorium för nanomaterial - European Observatory for Nanomaterials

What do EU citizens think about nanomaterials? 16 November 2020 A recent survey carried out in five selected EU countries shows that citizens demand better labelling of everyday products containing nanomaterials and increased awareness of the risks and benefits of products containing nanomaterials.

(PISC) who talk about alternatives to animal testing for nanomaterials. 24 September 2020 EU research aims to revolutionise toxicity screening of nanomaterials Read our latest Nanopinion guest column from Professor Andrew Nelson, Project Coordinator of the EU funded HISENTS project who talks about an experimental screening platform that mimics a living organism. The nearest thing to a “human-on-a-chip”. 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.
