Nanotechnology nanoRISK December newsletter deals with nanofoods
(Nanowerk News) The December issue of nanoRISK looks at nanotechnology applications in the food industry. As always, it includes numerous briefs on papers, initiatives, and upcoming events.
The main article "Nanofoods – coming to a fridge near you" deals with nanotechnology applications in food and food-related areas.
Nanowerk’s recently launched newsletter provides a wealth of risk-related nanotechnology information, compiled in one comprehensive, easy-to-read newsletter, on scientific research, regulatory updates and informed opinion about the risks posed by engineered nanoparticles and what is being done about them. A free copy of the premier edition of the bimonthly print newsletter is available at www.nanorisk.org.
“This newsletter is not about stopping nanotechnology or scaring people,” says Michael Berger, nanoRISK editor. “It is about providing a wealth of nanotechnology information, compiled in one comprehensive, easy-to-read newsletter, on scientific research, regulatory updates and informed opinion about the risks posed by engineered nanoparticles and what is being done about them.”
nanoRISK supports the debate on a very real and immediate issue – the fact that engineered nanoparticles are already finding their way from laboratories into commercial products and yet nobody really knows the effects they could have on living beings and the environment. Current toxicological and eco-toxicological risk assessment methodologies are not suited to the potential hazards associated with engineered nanoparticles.
Contents of previous and the current issue are available on the newsletter’s website.
Subscription Information
An annual subscription to nanoRISK costs US$49 (US$10 extra for addresses outside the United States). Those wishing to subscribe or get further information should go to www.nanorisk.org.
