After more than twenty years of basic and applied research, nanotechnologies are gaining in commercial use. But it has been difficult to find out how many nano consumer products are on the market and which merchandise could be called nano. While not comprehensive, this inventory gives the public the best available look at the 1,600+ manufacturer-identified nanotechnology-based consumer products introduced to themarket.

This "living" inventory is a resource for consumers, citizens, policymakers, and others who are interested in learning about how nanotechnology is entering the marketplace.

By crowdsourcing expertise our goal is to create a 'living' inventory for the exchange of accurate information on nano enabled consumer products. Registered users are encouraged to submit relevant data pertaining to nanoparticle function, location, properties, potential exposure pathways, toxicity and life cycle assessment. Registered users can update product information and add new products. You can register for an account here or submit new and updated information to nano@wilsoncenter.org.
