Readers of this group might be interested in a recent themed issue of Science
for Environment Policy focusing on Nanomaterials
(http://ec.europa.eu/environment/integration/research/newsalert/pdf/12si.pdf).
The issue addresses the difficult question of health and environmental risks
that might arise from novel nanomaterials and how these could be tested. The
news alert highlights recent research ranging from the potential of carbon
nanotubes to cause lung disease to the effects of sunscreen nanoparticles on the
skin. A must for the nano-interested.
