The
strategy outlines what research EPA will support over the next several years to
generate information about the safe use of nanotechnology and products that
contain nano-scale materials.
The EPA on Tuesday, Sept. 29, 2009, outlined its research strategy for studying nanomaterials and their effect on the environment.
The strategy outlines what research EPA will support over the next several years to generate information about the safe use of nanotechnology and products that contain nano-scale materials. The strategy also includes research into ways nanotechnology can be used to clean up toxic chemicals in the environment.
Nanomaterials are materials that are between approximately one and 100 nanometers. A nanometer is approximately 1/100,000 the width of a human hair. These materials are currently used in hundreds of consumer products, including sunscreen, cosmetics and sports equipment.
