Have lessons learned been implemented in VEPs on nanomaterials?
“We conclude that relying solely on the VEPs will not be sufficient to ensure the generating of health and safety information on the hazardous properties of nanomaterials to support informed proactive risk management” says Hansen. “We recommend that an increased effort be made by government agencies to provide guidance on reporting, technical support, public recognition, and that any voluntary program on nanomaterials be made mandatory after no more than three years which would allow companies to adapt and develop methodologies for generating health and safety information with increasing information exchange with regulators.
