An alternative to conventional plant protection products (PPPs) can be seen in the development of engineered nanoparticles as "nanopesticides". These can provide the encapsulation of active ingredients as a
Several different types of nanomaterials have been used as pigments since time immemorial. In ancient Egypt, for example, the soot from oil lamps was used to make black pigments with
Like many other products in everyday use (food, medicines, clothing, etc.), some cosmetics also contain ingredients in nanoform. For example, sunscreens and
Previously, we provided information on the NANOMET workshop on OECD Guidance Document (GD) 317 on aquatic and sediment toxicity testing of nanomaterials. At the end of last week, we held a
Last week we informed about the existing diversity of definitions for nanomaterials (NM) between the different EU regulations. As already mentioned, these differences also have direct
In our many previous blog posts, we have talked about the following topics nanomaterial regulation within the EU. In general, nanomaterials and nanoforms fall under the same careful
In one of our previous blog posts on nAnoRegulations, we talked about the fate of nanomaterials (NMs) in the aquatic environment. In the context of the various possible
Within the EU regulatory framework, there are a number of different definitions for the term "nanomaterial". Each of these definitions depends heavily on the scope of the material and the
In a crude sense of things, nanotechnology revolves around an extremely small dimensions, one billionth of a meter to be exact. On the nanoscale
In 2020, the OECD published a new set of guidelines for assessing the fate and ecotoxicity of nanomaterials guidance document (GD) No. 317. It
