Summary: |
This draft report, prepared in cooperation with the German Federal Environmental Agency (UBA) and the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment, incorporates public comment from prior drafts into a new "Research Strategy" for investigating potential toxicology for workers who handle or process nanomaterials. The Research Strategy notes that no current laws in the EU require pre-market testing in part because it is unclear what testing would be required. Among numerous recommendations the Research Strategy suggests further research and data gathering on potential exposures of nanomaterials.
This draft report was placed online and public comment was taken over a period of a year and a final draft (Document 409 on this database) was published. |
