Antibiotic resistance is stable, however, more resistant bacteria are expected Over recent years, antibiotic resistance to most agents has remained stable in the Netherlands, and the use of antibiotics has slightly decreased.
Cost-effective risk assessment of nanomaterials may be feasible Companies, authorities and scientists can save time, money and test animals in the risk assessment of nanomaterials by using available data.
Innovation required in risk assessment of nanoparticles The currently existing models and techniques provide insufficient certainties in the assessment of the harmfulness of nanoparticles and nanomaterials to people and the environment.
EC-definition of nanomaterial provides proper basis In recent years, an increasing number of applications and products containing or using nanomaterials have become available.
