  • What do we know now that we didn't know last year?

    We are now fast approaching the end of 2007. Overall, when I reflect on the year is clear that things are happening. Many initiatives have begun or are moving forward, more research groups are active, more information concerning the toxicity of various types on nanomaterials is emerging on a case by case basis, and guidance is developing. But if I ...

  • Re: DuPont and Environmental Defense Nano Risk Framework

    I Agree, the framework looks like an excellent start to developing a comprehensive guide for managing potential risks of nanomaterials. If you read the feedback from the preliminary release of this framework, PETA did claim that there was far too much in vivo testing referred to rather than in vitro alternatives. The emphasis on in ...
