Canada's latest Plan of Priorities highlights nanomaterials for enhanced scrutiny, with a new strategy to identify which nanoforms in commerce need assessment. Nanomaterials are explicitly included in upcoming risk-assessment initiatives.
Authorities plan to identify data gaps and knowledge needs to support decision-making on nanomaterial priorities. The prioritisation framework considers hazard and exposure indicators, including carcinogens, endocrine disruptors, long-range transport substances, and compounds in high consumer exposure products.
