It has been a tough year for low toxicity particles: talc has been classified as carcinogen 1 B (publication pending) and also in the TiO2 case, the appeal has lead to the preliminary judgement that initial classification of TiO2 will be retained. EU is creating a lot of problems with low toxicity materials and we at Nanoconsult see a tendency to classify all PSLT as carcinogen.
The Particles Platform was created a a few years ago as an industry and science conglomerate fostering a responsible interpretation of available data. Now its website is live! The Particles Platform, of which we are a partner, is an informal alliance of EU industry associations, dedicated to scientific understanding, exchange of information and exploring science-based practical solutions for regulatory and policy developments connected to materials in the form of particles.
