Team of 15 companies and NGOs call for nanosafety funding
Abstract:
Christine Peterson: A group of 15 companies and non-profit organizations today sent a letter to each member of the U.S. Senate and House Appropriations Committees, calling for an increase in federal nanosafety funding. While the National Nanotechnology Initiative legislation has included funding for creating new nanotechnologies, and for studying their societal impact, it did not mandate a specific level of funds for safety testing. This letter attempts to address that oversight.
