nanoRISK: newsletter enriches nanotech risk discussion
Filed in archive News on June 9, 2006
Nanowerk today launched nanoRISK, a bimonthly print newsletter and companion website. The first issue, available free, looks like a very sensible and informative venue for nanotech debate and discussion. According to its publishers:
nanoRISK is"a constructive contribution to the responsible development and use of engineered nanoparticles," a must-read source for nanoprofessionals and nanonovices alike who want to stay informed about fundamental research and the latest developments on nanoparticles risk and safety issues.
"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."
The premiere, eight-page issue of nanoRISK features nanotechnology information and articles such as: "Nanotechnology risks - the real issues"; "Toxicology of carbon nanomaterials"; "Voluntary reporting scheme in the UK" and "Germany's dialogue about risk." Additional items include "Lessons from asbestos?"; "What is so special about carbon nanomaterials?" and briefs on upcoming events and new books. (photo nanoRISK)
