The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) https://www.oecd.org/about/ will host on December 2, 2021, a webinar on “How to Assess Exposure to Nanomaterials? The Evaluation Result of Existing Tools/Models” https://www.oecd.org/chemicalsafety/testing/webinars-on-testing-and-assessment-methodologies.htm – “… With the dramatic increase of nano-enabled products entering the market every year, human and environmental exposures are inevitable, which raises concerns in terms of the health and safety of such emerging nanomaterials. Scientific knowledge to assess the exposure to nanomaterials continues to improve … new exposure tools and models for nanomaterials are being developed … the OECD compiled an inventory of available models and tools for assessing occupational, consumer and environmental exposure to Nanomaterials … 10 occupational, 7 consumer and 6 environmental tools/models were recommended or evaluated as suitable for assessing exposure to nanomaterials. The detailed information on the analyses and evaluations are provided in the reports accessible from the Series on Nanomaterials website (No. 98, 99, 100 and 101) …” #NanoMaterials #NanoPlastics @OECD
Animal Digestible Food Packaging Initiative
Our reason-for-being/goal/purpose/objective/intent is to convince/inspire/persuade/encourage the food processing industry to establish and fund a public private partnership for the discovery of new food packaging materials that would be digestible by animals (farm animals as well as ubiquitous microbes).
