ISO - News - How toxic are nanoparticles? New ISO standard helps find out
With the rapid growth of nanotechnology-based products, researchers, manufacturers, regulators and consumers are increasingly concerned with their safety and environmental impact. To help address this issue, ISO has published an International Standard to support the inhalation toxicity testing of nanoparticles.
SO 10808:2010, Nanotechnologies – Characterization of nanoparticles in inhalation exposure chambers for inhalation toxicity testing, was developed by ISO technical committee ISO/TC 229, Nanotechnologies, and is available from ISO national member institutes (see the complete list with contact details). It may also be obtained directly from the ISO Central Secretariat, price 92 Swiss francs through the ISO Store or by contacting the Marketing, Communication & Information department (see right-hand column).
