The recent international #standard for nanotechnology (ISO/TS 23650:2021) specifies protocols to determine the quantity of #nanomaterials released from #textile following washing or exposure to artificial human body sweat.
The newly published ISO #nanotechnology_standard describes a methodology of label-free and real-time detection to assess the #toxicity of #nanomaterials to eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.
The newly published Danish #nanotechnology_standard can be used to evaluate #nano_objects generated as products of degradation, wear, or from mechanical treatment processes from #medical_devices manufactured not using #nanomaterials.
A recent survey carried out in five selected EU countries shows that the majority (87 %) of study respondents want to know if the product they are buying contains #nanomaterials.
