EPA Publishes New Research Strategy for Investigation of Nanomaterial Health & Environmental Risks |
October 16, 2009
Previously published on October 5, 2009
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released the final version of its new "Nanomaterial Research Strategy" (or "report") on Tuesday, September 29, 2009. The report, previously released in draft form in June 2009, details EPA's overall strategy for investigating the human health and environmental effects potentially associated with exposure to manufactured nanomaterials. According to EPA, its nanomaterial research agenda is largely driven by the need for information that can be used in EPA's decision-making under existing federal environmental law. The outcome of EPA's health and environmental research activities thus carries potential implications for environmental attorneys and toxic tort practitioners alike.
