This week in Nano: Week 38 (14th Sept-20th Sept)

 


Given that nano in consumer products is always a topic of interest online and in the press here is a nice study from the RIVM (National Institute for Public Health and the Environment - in the Netherlands) on nanomaterials in consumer products

One interesting point from the report notes that of the already identified 143 products (2007) 53 of those products no longer were on the market - this shows the fast pace this nano worlds moves at! The report goes on to suggest that 858 consumer products with a nano claim are currently available on the market. Given that this was published in 2010 it can be assumed there has been some changes in the intervening 5 years.

The report can be found here.
