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

Nanomaterials in Europe’s workplaces: what are the risks and how can they be managed? 15 November 2019 Read the latest guest column from Elke Schneider from the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work who explains what the EU is doing to protect its workers and what different tools and guidance are available. News More news RSS 15 October 2019 Have your say on future studies on nanomaterials The EUON is looking for topic suggestions that could be addressed in its upcoming studies. Up to 3 studies are conducted annually to address knowledge gaps on nanomaterials that are of interest to the general public and the research community. 10 October 2019 Strengthening societal engagement with nanotechnology Why should we strengthen societal engagement and what does it even mean? That may be the question at the forefront of many readers. In our latest guest post, Lise Bitsch from the EU-funded GoNano project writes about why the research and innovation world of nanotechnologies and other key enabling technologies should care about societal engagement. 8 October 2019 Test guidelines for safety testing of nanomaterials An overview of test guidelines relevant for the safety testing of nanomaterials is now available on the EUON. The list focusses on companies needing to meet updated regulatory requirements under the REACH Regulation. 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.
