Following up on recent posts about concern in the insurance industry and in Congress about risk management practices for (current and near-term) nanotechnology, David Forrest passes along this news of recent action at EPA:
The EPA has published their Interim Report on the Nanomaterials Stewardship Program and continues to invite comment for the final version. See http://epa.gov/oppt/nano/stewardship.htm The Nanoscale Materials Stewardship Program (NMSP) “will help provide a firmer scientific foundation for regulatory decisions by encouraging submission and development of information including risk management practices for nanoscale materials.”
