New products containing nanomaterials are constantly being released to the market and used for diverse purposes. As a result, growing amounts of products containing nanomaterials enter the end-of-life phase of the lifecycle and are disposed. What is nanowaste and what actually happens to nanomaterials during the waste treatment processes? Are nanomaterials being released from their product matrix during disposal, combustion or recycling and if so, is there a risk for humans and the environment?
The recently published DaNa-article "Nanoparticles in waste" will answer these and other questions which can be found in our Cross-Cutting section.

Nano-safety - topic of the future
In October we would like to present the special issue "Future Nanosafety" published in "Chemical Research in Toxicology".
In 17 articles operation procedures for future test methods, alternatives for animal testing, safe-by-design processes and detection methods of nanoparticles are presented.
