Occupational health and safety regulations Persons who work with nanomaterials may be exposed to them. RIVM investigates whether this may result in health risks. RIVM also closely monitors international and national developments in this field.
Consumer products In daily life, consumers use products of which the information on the label indicates that they have been produced with nanotechnology or contain nanomaterials. In some cases that is actually true, but the term ‘nano’ is sometimes also used as a marketing tool when the use of nanotechnology or nanomaterials has not been proven. RIVM identifies and reports on new developments in this area for a broad audience and collaborates with other organisations in this field.
DNFCS Core survey - Part 1, Foods (EPIC-Soft groups) These are results of the consumption of food (groups), for the total study population and separately for users only. Results are also subdivided into gender within age groups, educational level or BMI category and into place and time of consumption. Data is also available separately for children and adults. The food groups are based on the EPIC-Soft classification.
DNFCS Core survey - Part 2, Foods (NEVO-codes) These are results of the consumption of foods, for the total study population and separately for users only. Results are also subdivided into gender within age groups, educational level or BMI category and into place and time of consumption. Data is also available separately for children and adults. For each EPIC-Soft (sub)group all relevant NEVO-products are shown. In the list of NEVO-codes in EPIC-Soft classification can be seen to which food groups and food sub groups NEVO-codes have been classified.
DNFCS Core survey - Part 3, Foods, fortified These are results of the consumption of fortified foods, for the total study population and separately for users only. Results can also be looked up broken down to gender within age groups, educational level of parents/carers or weight class. Data is also available separately for children and adults. The food groups are based on the EPIC-Soft classification.
DNFCS Core survey - Part 4, Foods, artificially sweetened These are results of the consumption of artificially sweetened foods, for the total study population and seperately for users only. Results are also subdivided into gender within age groups, educational level or BMI category. Data is also available separately for children and adults. The food groups are based on the EPIC-Soft classification.
DNFCS Core survey - Part 5, Macronutrients These are results of the actual intake of macronutrients (protein, fat, carbohydrates and fibre). Results are also subdivided into age, age by gender, educational level or BMI category, by place and time of consumption. Result on the usual intake can be found in report ‘Dutch National Food Consumption Survey 2007-2010. Diet of children and adults aged 7 to 69 years’.
