Beginning of October 2017, the European Commission (EC) began a public consultation (open until 6th Nov 2017) on a draft regulation that would amend Annexes I, III, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, and XII of the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulation to address nanoforms of substances. The EC has now posted the received 36 comments from Business associations, Public authorities, Non-governmental organisations, Company/business organisations, Environmental organisations, Academic/research institutions and others online on their website.

Information on the sponsorship programmes of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research on nanotechnologies for humans and the environment.
A database with important and generally understandable aspects on health and environment of applied nanomaterials as well as facts on the safety of manufactured nanomaterials.
The chapters on release, exposure, uptake and behavior of nanomaterials in the human body and in the environment as well as the risk assessment will give you a first overview.

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.
