Trade Unions call for REACH amendment to cover nanomaterials

European labour unions have called on the European Commission to amend the REACH regulation on chemicals to better protect workers against nanomaterials throughout their lifecycle. Their call comes shortly after the EU executive argued that nanotech is already covered by existing EU regulation. "Workers all along the production chain from laboratories through to manufacturing, transport, shop shelves, cleaning, maintenance and waste management" are exposed to nanomaterials manufactured and placed on the market without true knowledge of their potential impacts on human health and the environment, states a resolutionPdf external adopted by the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) on 25 June. The confederation calls on the Commission to amend the bloc's chemicals legislation (REACH) to cover nanomaterials manufactured or imported below

Nanomaterials More Dangerous Than We Think

bshell writes "A Canadian panel of leading scientists warns that nanomaterials appearing in a rapidly growing number of products might potentially be able to enter cells and interfere with biological processes. According to a story in the Globe and Mail, the Council of Canadian Academies concluded that 'there are inadequate data to inform quantitative risk assessments on current and emerging nanomaterials... Their small size, the report says, may allow them "to usurp traditional biological protective mechanisms" and, as a result, possibly have "enhanced toxicological effects."' The council is an independent academic advisory group funded by the federal government, but operating at arms-length from Ottawa. The 16-member panel that wrote the new report included some of Canada's leading scientists and top international experts on nanomateria

Canadian Study Finds Regulations Can Handle Nanotechnology

In response to a request by government agency Health Canada, the nonprofit Council of Canadian Academies has released a study on the risks of nanomaterials. The group found that nanomaterials are too new and unstudied for a full risk assessment, but it believes existing regulatory mechanisms in Canada can be adjusted to account for the new risks that nanomaterials pose to human health and the environment.

Nanomaterials could pose health risks, need more oversight, council says

Not enough is known about the health and environmental effects of nanomaterials and nanoproducts, says a new report released Thursday, and more must be done to regulate items that contain them.

NPL to create 'encyclopedia for space nanomaterials'

The European Space Agency (ESA) has appointed the UK's National Physical Laboratory (NPL) to survey nanotechnology capabilities in Europe. NPL's Nanomaterials group will lead a consortium to identify the next generation of nano and smart materials that will be used in future space missions.

nGimat Awarded US Department of Energy Phase I to Develop Electrode Nanomaterials for Lithium-ion Batteries

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has awarded nGimat a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I to develop electrode nanomaterials for high-performance Lithium-ion batteries that will be used to power the next generation of hybrid-electric vehicles (HEV). In the award notification the DOE stated "this project will develop a critical component of Lithium-ion batteries that will power next generation Hybrid Electric Vehicles. Automobiles powered by batteries containing this component will reduce our dependence on foreign oil, [reduce] pollution caused by harmful automobile emissions, and strengthen global competitiveness of the U.S. automobile industry".

Not enough is known about the health and environmental effects of nanomaterials and nanoproducts, says a new report, and more must be done to regulate items that contain them.

The report, released by the Council of Canadian Academies, a not-for-profit organization whose mandate is to provide independent, expert assessment of the science underlying matters of public interest, identified major gaps in knowledge about the safety of nanomaterials.

Expert Panel Concludes there is not Enough Information to Assess the Safety of Nanomaterials

OTTAWA, July 10 /PRNewswire/ - An expert panel appointed by the Council of Canadian Academies has concluded that too little is known to assess the overall human and environmental risks posed by the introduction nanomaterials and nanoproducts into society. However, the panel did not identify any evidence that nanoproducts currently on the market in Canada present risks that cannot be addressed through available risk management strategies.
