  Nanotechnology bound: evaluating the case for more regulation 

  http://www.nanowerk.com/news/newsid=2764.php

  In continuing news, there is a growing debate on whether current laws and regulations, both in the US and abroad, need to be strengthened as they relate to nanotechnology. On one side, experts argue that ... nanomaterials, which are making their way into the marketplace today, are possibly harmful to consumers and the environment, so stronger and new laws are needed to ensure they are safe. On the other side, different experts argue that more regulation will slow down the pace of business and innovation in nanotechnology, or that self-regulation is the answer, or other opposing positions. The paper draws out the core issues behind the debate and explains that there is more at stake than merely environmental, health and safety (EHS) worries or business interests, as it first appears.   [More...] [Less...]

  http://www.techcentral.ie/article.aspx?id=11778

  Application Development | 11 Feb 2008 : The European Commission has given a $587,000 grant to researchers to help regulate nanotechnologies in the EU and the US. The money will go to researchers at the ... London School of Economics, Chatham House, the Environmental Law Institute and the Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies. The Commission noted that several transatlantic conflicts have erupted in recent years over how to regulate chemicals, beef hormones and genetically modified food. These disputes have shown the need for better international coordination of risk assessment and management.
