NIA comments to Basel Convention and nanowaste

NIA has provided its comments to the United Nations ‘Report on issues related to waste containing nanomaterials and options for further work under the Basel Convention'. The report is comprehensive and provide an overview of the current aspects of waste containing nanomaterial.  However, NIA points out that a number of the issues presented, are not different from conventional non-nano waste materials and are thus not nanospecific in nature.
