Heavy metal contents in batteries are partially too high

BAM scientiest carried out a study for the German Federal Environment Agency. They investigated the compliance of commercially available batteries with the existing limits for heavy metal contents. | Survey of Mercury, Cadmium and Lead Content of Batteries.

Novel certified reference material (CRM) BAM-N001 Nano Silver

CRM BAM-N001 Nano silver is offered as an aqueous solution diluted to a nano silver concentration of 100 µg/ml. Colloidal silver has been in use in medicine for a long time.Today there are hundreds of products containing nano silver. The increasing use of nano silver in future will supposedly cause an increasing release of silver into the environment. In this way, silver can be also incorporated into the human body. Therefore, it is very important to study materials, their production, application in products and technical processes, and distribution as well as effects to humans and to nature. | More information
