US EPA, FDA and USDA have published an ambitious plan for improving regulation of genetically modified plants, animals, microorganisms, human drugs, biologics, and medical devices.
Read MoreOur latest book chapter describes risk assessment frameworks and state-of-the-art approaches to assess nanomaterial risk with a specific focus on life-cycle risk analysis. Case studies for carbon nanotubes and cellulose nanomaterials put these theories into practice, guiding readers through model risk assessment processes.
Read MoreAs Earth Day dawns, we are reminded of the profound significance of our planet's health and the imperative to safeguard it for future generations. Our commitment to enabling a safer and more sustainable economy is unwavering.
Read MoreThere is an immediate need for cellulose nanofibril references and standards to support environmental, health and safety evaluations, product and application development of next-generation composite materials. A new paper outlines our recent work to develop systematically oxidized and well-characterized reference materials from industrially relevant dissolving pulp.
Read MoreWorking with industrial partners in the DIAGONAL project, Vireo conducted a detailed nanomaterial life-cycle risk analysis (Nano LCRA) for a graphene-enabled functional fabric used in personal protective equipment. We are delighted to announce that this study has been published in NanoImpact. Using this unique link, you can read it without sign-up, registration or fees until January 25, 2024.
