  • Creating Safer Materials

    In partnership with Dupont, we created the Nano Risk Framework, a system to promote public safety in development of nanotechnology products.

Why it matters

Overuse of antibiotics in food animal production contributes to the rise of bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics and contaminants to air, water, soil and wildlife.

Nanotechnology has great potential to deliver environmental, health and other benefits, but it may also pose new risks to workers, consumers, the public and the environment.

Nano Risk Framework

Ensure the safe use and production of nanomaterials by following a rigorous risk management protocol, such as the Nano Risk Framework developed by EDF and DuPont.
