| Summary: | Synthetic nanomaterials are taking on increasing importance in our daily lives. Information about their properties within production and processing chains are of great importance in establishing the necessary risk and safety phrases and protective measures. The safety data sheet (SDS) plays a key role in this respect. On the one hand, it has to enable the processing industry and business in general to recognise potential hazards during the production and manufacturing processes. At the same time, it has to provide the necessary basis to evaluate potential dangers to health and the environment in the finished products. Based on current knowledge, possible risks from what are known as nano-objects can arise when they are free or when they are released from products." |
