In recent times, there have been substantial breakthroughs in nanotechnology and its applications. With these developments, questions and studies have arisen regarding their safety, given the negative past experiences associated with substances such as asbestos, cigarette smoke, exhaust fumes, DDT, PCBs, and other persistent organic compounds. While nanotechnology presents numerous benefits, it is crucial to consider potential, yet not fully understood, environmental and health risks.
The marketing and utilisation of products containing nanomaterials, particularly in environments with heightened vulnerability such as preschools and schools, is a matter of debate. This topic will be explored further alongside discussions on the certification of medical devices and cosmetics. Can we detect malpractices, akin to those of sale sharks, in these sectors, or will legislation offer adequate protection?
