OECD nanotechnology update on current safety developments
On December 10, the OECD Environmental Directorate released a compilation of responses given during the nanotechnology Tour de Table by delegations that attended the 4th Meeting of the Working Party on Manufactured Nanomaterials held at OECD Headquarters in Paris, France on 11-13 June 2008. The 96-page document outlines the latest on-goings in nanotechnology EH&S research around OECD’s member countries. Notably, the Institute of Occupational Medicine’s HARN, CELL PEN and EMERGNANO projects constitute a large portion of the work outlined as being most relevant from within the UK. The document can be downloaded from the OECD website – click here for access (pdf download, 628 KB).
