Only half as many nanomaterials registered in Europe compared to France

Only 130 chemicals with “nanoforms” have been registered under REACH, according to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), as reported by Chemical Watch. In France, however, 286 substances are listed in the latest official balance sheet of r-nano, the French register…

This is an opportunity to reiterate the need to lower the registration threshold in REACH for nanoforms below “one ton per year”, as the EU Council and NGOs have been advocating for several years now.

Controlling the risks associated with nanomaterials (CEA, Online)
On line
Training
  • E-learning program: awareness-raising for personnel who come into contact with nanomaterials during research, formulation, production, maintenance, cleaning, upkeep, etc., as well as safety coordinators or engineers, facility managers, heads of laboratories where nanoparticles are handled.
  • Organizers: INSTN Grenoble (CEA)
  • On the program:
    • 1 – Introduction, definition and characteristics of nanomaterials
    • 2 – Toxicity of nanomaterials: the state of knowledge
    • 3 – Metrology and characterization of nanomaterials
    • 4 – Prevention and protection against nanomaterials in the workplace
    • 5 – Quiz: assessment of learning outcomes
  • The 2-hour course can be viewed for one month from the date of registration.
