...so pretty much like many industries of the time but on a much smaller scale - my favourites were always the solvent drying areas (i.e. dump solvents on the ground and let them evaporate) or late night tips to the local tip!
Happy Christmas

Subject: Re: If Micro-plastics, why not Nanomaterials?
Dear List
Following from my earlier posting I see there is strong momentum in graphene community to develop some certification and some are already rolling it out on a nation-wide scale. New nanomaterial safety assessment protocols are proposed on the safe management of waste containing intentionally produced nano-objects (nanoparticles, quantum dots, nanofibres, nanotubes, nanoplates, Graphene, etc).

In the same breadth I see Australia is developing a Draft National Standard for the Environmental Risk Management of Industrial Chemicals: Nanomaterials. The Draft Explanatory Document includes an explanation of the categorization of substances based on evidence of their toxicity and bioaccumulation and endocrine disruption and other, as yet unquantifiable, characteristics that may result in adverse short- or long-term effects on the environment.
