EU CONFIRMS SIZE OF A NANOPARTICLE

摘要

The European Commission has taken a significant step towards effectively regulating nanotechnology, formally announcing that nanoparticles measure between 1 and 100 billionth-of-a-metre. The guidance, in a formal EU recommendation, will remedy a situation where industry associations across Europe have had different definitions. The EU decision will be reviewed in 2014, taking account of technical progress.
