Silver Nanotechnology Working Group formed
3 April 2009Silver nanoparticles are used in number of products especially electrical and electronic appliances and the risk vis-à-vis the benefits of these are not yet fully known. Now a Silver Nanotechnolgy Working Group is formed jointly by The Silver Institute and Silver Research Consortium, who will investigate the benefits of silver nanoparticles in a wide-range of industrial and consumer products.
A lot of companies are facing problems especially regulatory problems in registering various consumer and industrial products containing silver nanoparticles and for solving the problem of such companies, the Silver Nanotechnology Working Group was formed. The group will ensure that the people associated in designing and production of silver nanoparticles, users of nanoparticles share information on health and environmental aspects of the silver nanoparticles. The data will be collected and on the basis of the information, the particular industries can file registration of their products to the respective regulatory agencies.
So far the four companies have joined the Silver Nanotechnology Working Group (SNWG) and these are Bayer MaterialScience, NanoHorizons, Servicious Industriales and BYK Chemie and many more companies are likely to join the SNWG in near future. The headquarter of the Silver Nanotechnology Working Group is at Research Triangle Park, North Carolina and it will operate research programs that will be funded by silver industry.
