Quality Handbook - Standard Procedures for Nanoparticle Testing
|
Nanommune (www.nanommune.eu) has established a Quality-Handbook for production, characterization and testing of nanomaterials, edited by Prof. Dr. Harald F. Krug, Empa.
This contains nearly 100 SOPs and should be a basis for future projects and publications in this field!
The Quality Handbook for download.
Prof. Harald Krug is also working as nanotoxicology expert in the DaNa team!
New OECD publication on nanomaterials
|
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has published a new report that focuses on the important issues, strategies and approaches for risk assessment of manufactured nanomaterials:
IMPORTANT ISSUES ON RISK ASSESSMENT OF MANUFACTURED NANOMATERIALS
Series on the Safety of Manufactured Nanomaterials, No. 33
The purpose of the OECD Series on the Safety of Manufactured Nanomaterials is to provide up-to-date information on the diverse activities at OECD related to human health and environmental safety.
