Applications
The uses of nanomaterials can be very different and concern many fields of application: foodstuffs, cosmetics, clothing and textiles, household, electronic and digital appliances (screens), sports equipment, windows and building materials, aeronautics, cars (bodywork, paints, windows, tires, fuels, etc.), boats, armament & defense, etc.
As'labeling requirement currently only applies to a few product categories (cosmetics, biocides et feed), with a very insufficient implementation, it is very difficult today to know if such or such precise product contains nanomaterials.
The some existing inventories and censuses can be consulted to try to get an idea of the types of products concerned, but they unfortunately do not provide solid, precise and/or up-to-date information.
This is why we invite you to support our work to obtain more transparent information, via product testing, the plea for a generalization oflabeling [nano] and reliable and publicly accessible registers: theimproved r-nano registry and the establishment ofa European register are among our priorities!
