The European Union Observatory for Nanomaterials published a thorough assessment of analytical methods for detecting carbon-based nanomaterials (CBNMs) in biological and environmental samples. The report highlights major challenges: background interference from natural carbon, missing reference materials, and lack of harmonized protocols.
Their recommendations include developing certified reference materials, validating hybrid analytical workflows, leveraging machine learning tools, and building international collaboration on harmonized test guidelines.
