A recent document from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), “Current Developments/Activities on the Safety of Manufactured Nanomaterials”, provides an update on current developments and activities regarding the safety of manufactured nanomaterials in OECD member countries, and other delegations that attended the 8th meeting of the OECD’s Working Party on Manufactured Nanomaterials, held in Paris, France from March 16 to 18, 2011. The document includes written reports on current activities related to nanotechnologies and nanomaterials in other international organizations, such as the International Organization for Standardization, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, and the World Health Organization. This resource is intended to provide delegations and other stakeholders with a “snapshot” (current to March 2011) of information on activities related to manufactured nanomaterials, as well as other nanotechnology activities, at the national and international level.
