EPA : Draft Nanotechnology White Paper

US EPA

"Nanotechnology is the science of manipulating materials at the atomic and molecular level to develop new or enhanced materials and products. "In December 2004, EPA's Science Policy Council created a cross-Agency workgroup to identify and describe the issues EPA must address to ensure protection of human health and the environment as this new technology is developed. The draft white paper on nanotechnology is the product of the workgroup."
