NRC Review of Federal Strategy for Nanotechnology-Related Environmental, Health, and Safety Research (2009)

Date Published
Description

Based on a review of the NNI's EHS Research Strategy, this book recommends a robust national strategic plan for addressing nanotechnology-related EHS risks, which will need to focus on promoting research that can assist all stakeholders, including federal agencies, in planning, controlling, and optimizing the use of engineered nanomaterials while minimizing EHS effects of concern to society. Such a plan will ensure the timely development of engineered nanoscale materials that will bring about great improvements in the nation's health, its environmental quality, its economy, and its security.
