Manufactured Nanomaterials: Europe and North America Forecast |
| When: |
September 1, 2010 |
| Synopsis: |
In the United States, new chemical reform legislation in Congress has a "nano-clause". Europe is already addressing nanoscale commercial products through REACH. Health Canada and the European Commission are seeking to define the term "nanomaterial". Is there any attempt at coordination and is harmonization a realistic objective? Hear the views from both sides of the Pond in this second installment in the 2010 Nanotechnology Today webinar series. |

Benefits and Risk Communication for Nanomaterials |
| When: |
November 16, 2010 |
| Synopsis: |
What is the current outlook for companies engaged in nanotechnology, and what risk communication tools are available to assist the people who work in companies that engage in nanotechnology? Learn about the most current approaches to MSDS writing, control banding, and related business communication strategies to assist the occupational safety and health professional. In addition, there are over 800 manufactured consumer products currently listed on the Project on Emerging Technologies website. The International Standards Organization and CEN, the European Communities on Standardization, are developing a broad approach to a labeling standard for products containing manufactured nano-objects. This webinar also is designed to address how to communicate effectively on benefits and risks with the public. |
