Nanotechnology promises to have far-reaching impacts on the economy, including offering technological advances in pollution control. While more than 200 products that use nanomaterials are already in the marketplace, minimal data exist on the health and environmental effects of nanomaterials. This poses significant questions for companies, regulators, consumers, and lawyers. The Nanotechnology Deskbook guides the reader through the application of existing laws and regulations to nanomaterials by exploring domestic laws and regulations and considering developments in the international context.
"This is not a scientist’s book. Those who can’t tell a quantum dot from a fullerene need not be intimidated. Instead, this timely book looks carefully at the key statues that govern aspects of nanomaterials throughout their lifecycles…. There is simply no other single source that provides such a comprehensive overview of the governance structure and hot issues in nanotechnology."
This is a ‘must have’ guidebook through the legal maze of the nanotechnology revolution...No lawyer, businessperson, policymaker, or government official can afford to be without this Deskbook.
