About this ebook
Nanomaterials are increasing in complexity and number, and the responsible development of nanotechnology-enabled (nano-enabled) commercial products is proving challenging because many near- and long-term environmental, health, and safety (nanoEHS) questions—such as the potential toxicity of some nanoscale materials—are incompletely answered. The United States and the European Union share the need to address these questions with the best available science and to engage with international partners to exchange information, develop best practices, and leverage limited resources.
To these ends, the United States and the European Union jointly hosted a workshop, U.S.-EU: Bridging NanoEHS Research Efforts, on March 10-11, 2011, in Washington, DC. This workshop brought together researchers, industry representatives, public health stakeholders, and regulatory scientists from Europe and the United States. The primary goals of the workshop were to engage in an active discussion about EHS questions for nano-enabled products, encourage joint programs of work that could leverage research assets and resources, and identify mechanisms to expand collaboration.
The structure of this report reflects the program of the workshop, which was broadly divided into four parts: Understanding U.S. and EU Perspectives and Programs; Data Needs for Regulatory Decision Making; Tackling the Challenges of Producing Reliable and Reproducible Data for Nanomaterials Assessment and Risk Management; and Collaborative Mechanisms for Joint Work.
