Article 13(6) of EU Directive 2020/2184 on the quality of water intended for human consumption (recast) states that within 3 years of its entry into force on 12th January 2021 the European Commission shall adopt a methodology to measure microplastics in drinking water. To support the development...

Microplastics are becoming ubiquitous in the environment and there is growing concern that they present a risk to the environment via contamination of water, soil and air. In addition, there are emerging worries that microplastics may impact human health following ingestion of contaminated food...

The present report illustrates the results of a literature and Internet search aimed to collect and review information on the use of nanotechnology in fluids, proppants, and downhole tools for hydraulic fracturing of unconventional hydrocarbon reservoirs. Different sources were consulted to...

This report provides the JRC's scientific-technical evaluation of options to clarify the EC Recommendation on a definition of nanomaterial, published in 2011 (EC Recommendation 2011/696/EU). It is a follow-up report of two previous JRC publications, which compiled feedback on the experiences of...
