| Summary: |
The EPA's Science Advisory Board held a workshop in June 2005 to educate and inform itself on science and research needs in the areas of nanotechnology, biotechnology, and information technology. This document contains a report of the workshop, including summaries of the keynote speakers and their presentations. Key points in the area of nanotechnology were that systematic life cycle assessments of benefits/risks have yet to be conducted, toxicity information is unknown, and while the precautionary approach suggests a moratorium on certain nanotechnology applications, because nanoparticles are likely to be made at point of use, arguments for a moratorium are irrelevant. |
