(Nanowerk News) This week the OECD released a new document which provides information on current and planned activities related to the safety of manufactured nanomaterials in OECD member countries. Information was provided by delegations who participated in the 2nd Meeting of OECD's Working Party on Manufactured Nanomaterials (WPMN). There are also reports on relevant current activities in other International Organisations such as the ISO. In addition, delegations added a short list of highlights at the top of their submissions to give readers a general idea of key events since the 1st meeting of the Working Party.
