By Evisa Kica* and Diana M. Bowman . 53 Jurimetrics J. 11–56 (2012).
This article analyzes the potential and the legitimacy implications of the standardization activities related to health and safety nanotechnology standards. In particular, it explores how the regulatory activities of the nanotechnology standardization developments can be analyzed and evaluated from the viewpoint of legitimacy.

By Adam Soliman, Food Safety News , October 16, 2012 Stronger nanotechnology regulations are needed because current laws monitoring nanotchnology risks and safety are highly insufficient.
As the use of nanotechnology in food and products grows, there is an urgent need for oversite and regulations on it’s risk and safety.
