As the European Commission undertakes public consultation regarding its proposed regulation of nanomaterials, Tatiana Santos from the European Environmental Bureau (EEB) explains why none of the options on the table are good enough. In its Second Regulatory Review of...Nanomaterials in the environment: an unknown risk
Scientists are only just beginning to understand the potential risks associated with releasing nanomaterials into the environment. These include potentially harmful effects on soil and water organisms. Despite growing evidence of potential harm, a new study suggests...Crazytech
Stupid technologies we don't need.....
And that could destroy life on Earth.
