Summary: |
This German-language document is an overview of recommendations for small and medium sized businesses in the German state of Hessen. It discusses what nanomaterials are, the current risk assessment, nanomaterial measurements, workplace protection measures, and risk perception and communication. REACH requires that the properties of nanomaterials be characterized, and there are EC Directives which regulate classification, labeling, and packaging. The TSCA (Toxic Substances Control Act) also applies, and local German regulations (such as guidelines from BAuA) also impact small and medium sized businesses. |

Summary: |
This German-language publication is targeted toward the paint industry, which has begun to use nano-coatings in products for increased performance. It contains practical recommendations for the safe use of nanomaterials in the paint and coatings industry. Key recommendations are that nanomaterials should be broadly defined, significant knowledge gaps exist and so usage of nanomaterials should be on the Precautionary Principle, the primary objective must be to avoid inhalation, if inhalation cannot be avoided then measures such as personal protection devices should be used to reduce exposure, entry of nanomaterials into the environment should be kept as low as possible, and transparency of information should be improved. |
