Nanotechnology -- a term encompassing nanoscale science,
engineering, and technology -- is focused on understanding,
controlling, and exploiting the unique properties of matter that
can emerge at scales of one to 100 nanometers. A key issue before
Congress regarding nanotechnology is how best to protect human
health, safety, and the environment as nanoscale materials and
products are researched, developed, manufactured, used, and
discarded. While the rapidly emerging field of nanotechnology is
believed by many to offer significant economic and societal
benefits, some research results have raised concerns about the
potential adverse environmental, health, and safety (EHS)
implications of nanoscale materials. Potential detrimental effects
of nanoscale materials and devices -- both real and perceived --
must be addressed to protect and improve human health, safety, and
the environment; enable accurate and efficient risk assessment,
risk management, and cost-benefit trade-offs; foster innovation and
public confidence; and ensure that society can enjoy the widespread
economic and societal benefits that nanotechnology may offer. This
book examines those issues.
