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
Nanomaterials: Relevant Regulatory Definitions in the EU
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
