Global drug and device development tracker RegLink News reports on EU launch of nanomaterial regulatory scheme review. Washington, DC (PRWEB) October 05, 2012 The European Commission yesterday released a Communication opening a second regulatory review to ensure the safe use of nanomaterials. The regulatory review is a systematic analysis of all current applicable EU legislation to determine whether it is adequate to ensure the safe use of nanomaterials, and to fill regulatory gaps...

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released a pair of draft guidelines Friday addressing the possible use of nanotechnology -- tiny engineered materials that are too minute to be seen under a microscope -- by manufacturers in the food and cosmetic industries. The two draft guidance documents are entitled “Guidance for Industry: Assessing the Effects of Significant Manufacturing Process Changes, including Emerging Technologies, on the Safety and Regulatory Status of Food...

Cohesive Research Plan Needed to Help Avoid Potential Risks From Rapidly Evolving Technology Despite extensive investment in nanotechnology and increasing commercialization over the last decade, insufficient understanding remains about the environmental, health, and safety aspects of nanomaterials.  Without a coordinated research plan to help guide efforts to manage and avoid potential risks, the future of safe and sustainable nanotechnology is uncertain, says a new report from the...

Agency outlines roadmap for discussion on nanotechnology in regulated products SILVER SPRING, Md., June 9, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today released draft guidance to provide regulated industries with greater certainty about the use of nanotechnology, which generally involves materials made up of particles that are at least one billionth of a meter in size. The guidance outlines the agency's view on whether regulated products contain nanomaterials...

NEW YORK, June 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Nowadays, the word Nanotechnology became a buzz word that fascinates, puzzles, intimidates but for sure draws everybody's interest and attention.

SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The 2012 federal budget recommends the allocation of $2.1 billion to the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI), a federal interagency research and development program that studies the imaging, measuring, modeling, and manipulation of matter at the nanoscale--a measurement of particles between 1 and 100 nanometers (1 billionth of a meter) in size. While nanoscale materials are found in nature as part of smoke, volcanic ash, and sea spray,...

NEW YORK, April 20, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Nanodermatology Society (NDS), a physician-led organization dedicated to the scientific and medical aspects of nanotechnology and dermatology, released its first position statement on the safety of nanotechnology in sunscreens. For years, titanium dioxide and zinc oxide have been used as effective broad-spectrum ingredients in sunscreens. Nanotechnology, the science of materials that are 1 billionth of a meter, has led to newer...

A new study finds that the general public thinks getting a suntan poses a greater public health risk than nanotechnology or other nanoparticle applications. The study, from North Carolina State University, compared survey respondents' perceived risk of nanoparticles with 23 other public-health risks.The study is the first to compare the public's perception of the risks associated with nanoparticles to other environmental and health safety risks. Researchers found that nanoparticles are...

Oversight Challenges Still ExistNanotech consumer products continue to grow at a consistent pace.According to the Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies (PEN) over 1,300 manufacturer-identified, nanotechnology-enabled products have entered the commercial marketplace around the world. The most recent update to the group's five-year-old inventory reflects the continuing use of the tiny particles in everything from conventional products like non-stick cookware to more unique items such as...
