New Publication in the Series on the Safety of Manufactured Nanomaterials

20-Apr-2009

"Preliminary Analysis of Exposure Measurement and Exposure Mitigation in Occupational Settings: Manufactured Nanomaterials" is the eigth publication in the Series on the Safety of Manufactured Nanomaterials.  This report provides preliminary analyses and recommendations as well as brief summaries of background documents listed in the operational plan relevant to phase 1 of the project on exposure measurement and exposure mitigation.

The 23rd issue of the Environment, Health and Safety News has been issued

31-Mar-2009

The Environment, Health and Safety News is a newsletter issued approximately every eight months.  Its purpose is to provide an update on the main events and activities of the OECD Environment, Health and Safety Programme. Information on new publications arising from the Programme as well as dates and venues of upcoming events and meetings are given.

OECD Database on Research into the Safety of Manufactured Nanomaterials Public Launch on 1st April 2009

31-Mar-2009

As part of the OECD activities to promote international co-operation in addressing human health and environmental safety aspects of manufactured nanomaterials, the OECD has developed a global resource which details research projects that address safety issues of manufactured nanomaterials. This database holds details of completed, current and planned research projects on safety, which are to be updated and managed electronically by delegations to the OECD Working Party on Manufactured Nanomaterials. It builds on the work of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.

Workshop on the safety testing of manufactured nanomaterials, Korea

04-Nov-2008

This workshop is being held to move forward the "Sponsorship Programme" which was launched in 2007. This programme involves the safety testing of 14 nanomaterials for a set of endpoints related to human health and environmental safety. Amongst other things, the Workshop will assist those who will be organising the testing (OECD member countries together with the European Commission, China and Industry) to develop and co-ordinate their testing plans. This workshop is hosted by the Ministry of Environment in Korea and will take place on November 19-21 in Busan, Korea. 

The 22nd issue of the Environment, Health and Safety News has been issued.

Information on new publications arising from the Programme as well as dates and venues of upcoming events and meetings are given.

List of Manufactured Nanomaterials and List of Endpoints for Phase One of the OECD Testing Programme

03-Jun-2008

OECD’s Working Party on Manufactured Nanomaterials launched a “sponsorship programme” at its 3rd meeting (November 2007). Countries  will share the testing of specific nanomaterials (MNs) under this programme. Much valuable information on the safety of MNs can be derived by testing a representative set for human health and environmental safety.  In launching this “sponsorship programme” the Working Party agreed a priority list of MNs for testing (based on materials which are in or close to commerce) as well as a list of endpoints for which they should be tested. 

Current Developments/ Activities in Manufactured Nanomaterials, Paris, France, 28-30 November 2007

18-Apr-2008

This document provides information on current/planned activities related to the safety of manufactured nanomaterials in OECD member and non-member countries.  Information was provided by delegations who participated in the 3rd Meeting of OECD's Working Party on Manufactured Nanomaterials.  There are also reports on relevant current activities in some International Organisations.
