EU AND OECD ACT AGAINST POTENTIAL NANOTECHNOLOGY RISKS

摘要

Rich member countries of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) are pooling experts and budgets to assess the environmental risks of using nanomaterials, including those incorporated into sunscreens, cosmetics and packaging. The OECD's Working Party on Manufactured Nanomaterials will manage the programme; it can already call on 100 experts from the OECD's 30 member countries.
