- Description:
- Please note that this is not a call for tenders but a publication announcing the Contracting authority-s intention to publish a future negotiated low or middle valueprocedure. The European Union Observatory for Nanomaterials (EUON) aims to improve the transparency of information on the safety and markets of nanomaterials. Thus, via stakeholder input EUON identifies topics for studies to address important knowledge gaps on nanomaterials, which are contracted out. The aim of the studies is to collect and analyse information on the identified knowledge gap, often using systematic literature reviews complemented with consultation with relevant experts. Nanomaterials may enable fabrics to have desirable multifunctional properties such as being self-cleaning, anti-bacterial or anti-odour, water-repellent, warming or cooling, or fireproof, or protect against UV rays or mosquitos. Currently, the available scientific information on nanotech textiles is scattered, leading to uncertainty about their potential risks and safety, especially when considering the entire life cycle of the treated products. The use of nanosilver, titanium dioxide, or carbon-based nanomaterials in face masks, largely marketed since the covid-19 pandemic, highlight the need to better understand the extent of nano-enabled textiles placed on the EU market and their potential human and environmental health benefits and risks, in ways that could potentially be used to enhance or better enforce the existing regulation that underlies their commercialisation. The scope of the study would thus be twofold: 1) To collect, organise and analyse data on current research, production, applications, and the corresponding benefits and risks, of nano-enabled textiles in the EU. 2) Elaborate recommendations on ways to improve information and, where necessary, protection of EU consumers, workers & environment, regarding current uses and applications of nanomaterials in textile products on the EU market.
