Joint Event
Nanotechnology
Oversight & Risk
It's Your Business!
Nanotech is moving out of laboratories and into
factories, stores and homes, and waste streams. Governments
around the world are looking at ways to ensure workplace, consumer,
and environmental health and safety. Are current regulations
adequate? Will countries take similar approaches to oversight,
especially in Europe and America? Where is there already agreement,
and where are possible differences? What role will international
organizations play? Please join our panelists as they discuss
their perspectives.
