Toward a comprehensive framework for nanomaterials: An interdisciplinary assessment of the current Environmental Health and Safety Regulation regarding the handling of carbon nanotubes

By Caroline Burkhard Golin, Thomas Bougher, Anne Mallow, Baratunde Cola.  Journal of Chemical Health and Safety . 13 March 2013

This research finds that  a critical failure in the assessment and classification processes is the insufficient testing framework for classifying environmental health and safety (EHS) risk. In large part, this is due to relative novelty [...]

Identifying Uncertainty in Environmental Risk Assessments: The Development of a Novel Typology and Its Implications for Risk Characterisation

By Daniel J.C. & al    Edited by Taylor & Francis Online. Posted online: 01 Mar 2013

Environmental risk analysts need to draw from a clear typology of uncertainties when qualifying risk estimates and/or significance statements about risk. However  categorisations of uncertainty within existing typologies are largely overlapping, contradictory, and subjective, and many typologies are not designed [...]

Where Does the Nano Go?

End-of Life Regulation of Nanotechnology .

EPA must make key decisions about how to apply the two major end-of-life statutes to nanotechnology waste in order to ensure adequate oversight for these technologies, concludes a new report from the Wilson Center’s Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies. However, the report notes that the Agency lacks much of [...]
