EPA outlines new strategy to study nanomaterials

摘要

THE US Environmental Protection Agency has outlined a new research strategy aimed at understanding the impact of nanomaterials on human health and the environment. The project, which will closely monitor a range of personal care products, among a string of other consumer products that have been manufactured using the technology, underlines the organization's strategy to generate information about the safe use of nano-manufactured materials. The strategy will include previous research into potential hazards associated with these materials, as well as building on current research to ensure that information is as up-to-date as possible.
