#gsrs19 well underway! Great location & speakers! Focus this afternoon on safety assessment of nanomaterials or regulatory research needs for nanomedicines! Tomorrow I speak in plenary session on challenges concerning nanoplastics presenting work from #100PlasticRivers project!

US EPA reporting on toxicity of Graphene oxide on the marine lifeforms. The results look like there is no detected toxicity but for Oysters some effect is observed. #gsrs19

Presentation by Lisa Friedersdorf, Director of NNCO, at the Global Summit on Regulatory Sciences (GSRS19) in Lago Maggiore, Italy (bit.ly/2lNyuLf)

Thanks to 200 attendees from across the globe that made the Global Summit #GSRS19 successful in Stresa, Italy. We had in depth regulatory science discussions on nanotechnology in medical products, food, and standards with a plenary on nanoplastics.

Our Executive Director Bjorn Hansen has just presented ECHA's work on restricting intentionally-added #microplastics at the #PlasticHealthSummit. Want to know more about the problem with microplastics and what is the EU doing? 👇🏼 🎥youtube.com/watch?v=tKbCCb… #SaferChemicals

3️⃣6️⃣ 0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ tonnes of intentionally-added microplastics in products are released into the environment every year polluting our food 🍲, drinking water 💦 and 🏞️. What is the #EU doing to protect you and the environment? #ChemicalsInOurLife

A pleasure to present recent findings including work done by the JRC @EU_ at great #ESESD event: we need quality assured data to understand the presence and effect of #microplastics on environment & human health

Our Committee for Risk Assessment (RAC) backs restricting intentionally added #microplastics while recommending more stringent criteria for biodegradable polymers. The proposal is considered necessary to reduce environmental pollution. #SaferChemicals #PlasticsStrategy

GSRS19 Report on Nanotechnology and Nanoplastics is published. Thanks to Birgit Sokull-Kluettgen and all the contributors.

FDA’s work in the field of nanotechnology helps build regulatory science knowledge & supports science-based regulation of products containing nanomaterial to advance public health. Today’s report highlights our efforts in this field over the past decade. fda.gov/media/140395/d…

Proud of the FDA NTF and thank all those that contributed to this progress report released today. fda.gov/science-resear…
