In the July issue of CHOICE there is an article about what nanotechnology in consumer goods means to the average person in terms of environmental and health issues. It lists the many products that contain nanotechnology and highlights that most of us would not know of its existence in the everyday products we purchase.
NanoVic has been proactive in the area of safety having developed, along with QYANTEK, self-adhesive particle safety labels to address the need for safer handling and proper labelling of nanoparticles. We are currently looking at ways these labels can be progressed further through organizations such as Standards Australia and Australian Safety and Compensation Council.
Whilst regulation of nanotechnology has a long way to go at least this is a small step in the right direction.
