A European Centre for Ecotoxicology and Toxicology (Ecetoc) taskforce has released guidance for assessing whether or not a substance "possesses endocrine disrupting properties". 

A special edition of the journal NanoImpact, A decade of Nanotoxicology Research: Impact on Human Health and the Environment 8th International Congress of Nanotoxicology, features the collaborative work of Vireo Advisor's Kimberly Ong, Jo Anne Shatkin, and James Ede along with Theodora Retsina and Kim Nelson of American Process Inc.

In advance of this year’s TAPPI Nanotechnology Division Conference in Montreal, Canada, (June 5th-8th, 2017) Vireo Advisors will be hosting a half-day workshop on Monday June 5 aimed at small-, mid-, and large-sized enterprises interested in the health, safety and environmental aspects of working with bio-based and nanoscale materials.

In the workplace, occupational exposure limits (OEL) are put in place in order to prevent the worker from handling the material in such a way that may cause harm to them.

Vireo Advisors' Jo Anne Shatkin, James Ede, and Kimberly Ong published a chapter, “Minimizing Risk: An Overview of Risk Assessment and Risk Management of Nanomaterials” to the newly released “Metrology and Standardization for Nanotechnology: Protocols and Industrial Innovations”.
