Consumers and workers want to know which of these materials they are exposed to and whether the materials can harm them. Industry is concerned about being able to predict with sufficient certainty whether products that it makes and markets will pose any environmental, health or safety issues and what measures should be taken regarding manufacturing practices and worldwide distribution to minimize any potential risk. However, there remains a disconnect between the research that is being carried out and its relevance to and use by decision-makers and regulators to make informed public health and environmental policy and regulatory decisions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eResearch Progress on Environmental, Health, and Safety Aspects of Nanomaterials\u003c\/i\u003e evaluates research progress and updates research priorities and resource estimates on the basis of results of studies and emerging trends in the nanotechnology industry. This report follows up the 2012 report \u003ci\u003eA Research Strategy for Environmental, Health, and Safety Aspects of Engineered Nanomaterials\u003c\/i\u003e, which presented a strategic approach for developing the science and research infrastructure needed to address uncertainties regarding the potential environmental, health, and safety risks posed by ENMs. This new report looks at the state of nanotechnology research, examines market and regulatory conditions and their affect on research priorities, and considers the criteria for evaluating research progress on the environmental, health, and safety aspects of nanotechnology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e National Research Council,Division on Engineering and Physical Sci,Division on Earth and Life Studies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0309291860\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780309291866\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Academies Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/25\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"National Research Council","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48064842334463,"sku":"9780309291866","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8189d619-f30a-4bac-b296-62b8d217c7a6.jpg?v=1768671396","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/research-progress-on-environmental-health-national-research-council-9780309291866","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
