Nanomaterials: Hazards and risksto health and the environment.
A supplementary guide for the UK VoluntaryReporting Scheme
This supplementary guide on hazards and risks from nanoscale materials has been prepared tocomplement existing guidance for the Voluntary Reporting Scheme (VRS). Chapter 2 establishes therationale and benefits of the VRS. Chapter 3 provides a specific list of the relevant physical, chemical,toxicological and ecotoxicological data to include when reporting to the scheme and the relevanthazard, exposure and risk context for the information requested. Chapter 4 sets out a context andsummary for nanomaterial hazard and risk to human health and the environment.The purpose of the Voluntary Reporting Scheme is to develop a better understanding of theproperties and characteristics of different engineered nanoscale materials, so enabling potentialhazard, exposure and risk to be considered. Building an evidence-base in this way will allow for amore informed debate about the nature of appropriate controls.This supplementary guide has been prepared for the Defra by SM Hankin, RJ Aitken andCL Tran of the Institute of Occupational Medicine.
