4. Standards, health and regulatory aspects
Societal acceptance of textiles incorporating nanotechnologies is a delicate matter, particularly in Europe. Assessing the risks associated with these textiles, from manufacture to end-of-life, is a fundamentally important task that needs to be taken into account. Scientists' lack of experience in this field, combined with a lack of knowledge, is holding back the introduction of common regulations.
4.1 Measurement and detection adapted to nanotextiles
For some years now, laboratories have been developing characterization methods specifically adapted to textiles containing nanomaterials. Empa's global study on the life cycle of nanotextiles confirms the potential pathways for nanomaterials to diffuse into the environment: from raw materials to end-of-life,...
