UK government report on the potential risks of nanotechnology

JohnT — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 10:45:18 +0000

Short description

The UK government has produced a second report on the risks of nanotechnology, Characterising the Potential Risks posed by Engineered Nanoparticles.

Article body

The UK government has produced a second report on the risks of nanotechnology, Characterising the Potential Risks posed by Engineered Nanoparticles.

In the first report, published in 2005, a set of 19 environmental, health and safety research objectives were described together with ongoing research in this area and proposed research activities to be taken forward by the Nanotechnology Research Co-ordination Group
(NRCG). This was followed in October 2006 by the publication of a report setting out progress made to meet these 19 objectives.

This new report, released on 21 December 2007, builds on the 2006 publication, providing an update on the NRCG’s objectives and associated programme of work. It covers the activities of five Task Forces and progress on their action plans set out in the 2006 report to meet the 19 objectives. The Task Forces areas of responsibility are:

* Task Force 1 Metrology, Characterisation, Standardisation and Reference Materials;
* Task Force 2 Exposures: Sources, Pathways and Technologies;
* Task Force 3 Human Health Hazard and Risk Assessment;
* Task Force 4 Environmental Hazard and Risk Assessment; and
* Task Force 5 Social and Economic Dimensions of Nanotechnologies.

The report sets out an updated approach for funding additional research and places UK activities in an international context and responds to recommendations made by the Council for Science and Technology (CST) review published in March 2007.

Professor Ann Dowling, chair of the Royal Society and Royal Academy of Engineering working group on nanotechnologies, commented on the report: "The Government has recognised the huge potential of nanotechnology and recognised what needs to be done to ensure that advances are realised safely, but by their own admission progress has been slow in some areas. Given the wealth of expertise in UK universities and industries we should be further ahead, particularly in relation to ensuring the safety of manufactured nanoparticles. In order to speed things up we need to see stronger, clearer leadership from the Government.

"The benefits of nanotechnology in areas such as improving healthcare and helping to tackle energy and pollution problems could be massive. However to realise these benefits we must be fully confident in the knowledge that they will not have adverse effects on human health and the environment. Those wishing to exploit the technology need to be allowed to do so in a regulatory environment that will ensure safety. That means speeding up the pace of research on the characterisation of nanoparticles and the human health aspects.

"This report talks about the need for greater coordination and international cooperation to make faster progress, now is the time for clear leadership from Government departments and for the talk to be turned into action."

Nanohybrid' Plastic May Expand Use Of Biodegradable Plastic

JohnT — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 15:00:14 +0000

Short description

ScienceDaily (Dec. 9, 2007) — Scientists in New York are reporting development of a new biodegradable "nanohybrid" plastic

Article body

ScienceDaily (Dec. 9, 2007) — Scientists in New York are reporting development of a new biodegradable "nanohybrid" plastic that can be engineered to decompose much faster than existing plastics used in everything from soft drink bottles to medical implants.

The plastic is a modified form of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), a promising biodegradable plastic produced from bacteria that has been widely hailed as a "green" alternative to petroleum-based plastic for use in packaging, agricultural and biomedical applications. Although commercially available since the 1980s, PHB has seen only limited use because of its brittleness and unpredictable biodegradation rates.

In the new study, Emmanuel P. Giannelis and colleagues compared the strength and biodegradation rates of raw PHB to a modified form of PHB that contains nanoparticles of clay or "nanoclays." The scientists found that the modified PHB was stronger and decomposed faster than regular PHB. The nanohybrid PHB decomposed almost completely after seven weeks, while its traditional counterpart showed almost no decomposition. Researchers also showed that degradation could be fine-tuned by adjusting the amount of nanoparticles added.

The study is the "first report of the biodegradation of PHB nanocomposites" and could lead to wider use of PHB plastics, the scientists say.

The article "New Biodegradable Polyhydroxybutyrate/Layered Silicate Nanocomposites" is scheduled for the Nov. issue of ACS' Biomacromolecules.

Our aim is to protect and improve the environment, and to integrate the environment with other policies across Government and in international fora. Effective protection of the environment requires activity on many wide-ranging different fronts - for example, from acting to limit global environmental threats (such as global warming) to safeguarding individuals from the effects of poor air quality or toxic chemicals. It is one of the four objectives of sustainable development. Actions to protect the environment also produce benefits such as housing (through improved energy efficiency of buildings), social progress (through action to combat fuel poverty) and economic growth (through more efficient use of resources, such as re-use, recycling and recovery of waste).

We at Cerion Technology, Inc. believe that a US transportation industry based upon diesel power, even more desirably, diesel-electric hybrid power, will substantially lessen our dependence upon foreign oil and significantly contribute to the reduction in the growth of greenhouse gases. The attractiveness of the diesel engine's many advantages over gasoline (spark ignition) engines (25% greater thermodynamic efficiency, 50% greater oil refinery yield of diesel relative to gasoline and 30% well-to-wheel efficiency of diesel electric hybrids, compared to 13% for hydrogen fuel cells) are somewhat diminished by the diesel engine's emissions of particulate matter (soot) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx). CTI's diesel products, coupled with diesel oxidation catalytic converters mandated by the 2007 EPA emissions standards directly address and ameliorate these emissions issues.

Risk Assessment for Nanomaterials: Current Developments and Trends

Wed, 02 May 2007 12:33:49 +0100

Short description

The day-long training course will cover a diverse range of topics essential for professionals in nanotechnology and biotechnology, with nationally recognized experts from industry, academia, and government leading each topic. Participants will include government regulators, corporate decision makers, and scientists in the field. Topics will include a discussion of the current understanding of nanomaterial risks, EHS state-of-the-practice in companies involved with nanomaterials, a discussion of current and anticipated regulatory developments in the field, a primer on the toxicology of nanomaterials (including ecotoxicological issues), and an assessment of appropriate occupational safety and health practices associated with these technologies.

Long description

With 300 products in use today, what information is available to demonstrate that nanomaterials do not pose unnecessary risks to human and environmental health? What areas are in need of EHS science? How could risks and environmental impacts of nanomaterials throughout the product life-cycle be minimized with engineering practices to improve product safety and to avoid potential future litigation? Our training course is designed to help you navigate the ever-changing world of nanotechnology.

Participants should expect to gain an awareness of the critical issues in this evolving field and a set of conceptual tools needed to make decisions and prioritize challenges in their own organizations. Nanotechnology is a broad and complex field of research and manufacturing with many discrete decision-points. For example, some decisions might be based upon an ability to predict which nanomaterials will have favorable chemical characteristics and lower toxicities, to identify important knowledge and technology gaps, and to develop effective communication with stakeholders and the general public. This course is intended to facilitate those who must make these decisions in an uncertain environment.
