随着更多含有纳米技术的产品投放市场，对这些工程纳米材料的环境、健康和安全(EHS)影响的研究是至关重要的。尽管有更多的联邦资金投入到这类研究中，但专家们一致认为，缺乏一份共同的优先事项清单，阻碍了对这项技术对公众和环境的风险的评估。现在，政府和非政府组织(NGO)都在应对这一挑战，他们确定了纳米技术EHS的研究重点，并制定了战略，以获得各种纳米技术的相对风险和好处的答案。但时间至关重要，随着联邦政府努力制定战略计划，几个非政府组织已经或即将发布自己的战略计划，这让一些观察人士质疑联邦战略最终会有多大用处。领导联邦政府制定EHS战略研究计划的是国家纳米技术公司。
WITH MORE nanotechnology-containing products hitting the market, the need for research on the environmental, health, and safety (EHS) impacts of these engineered nanomaterials is vital. And while more federal dollars are going into such research, experts agree that the lack of a common list of priorities is hampering assessments on the risk of this technology to the public and the environment. Now, both government and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) are taking on this challenge by identifying nanotech EHS research priorities and developing strategies to get answers about relative risks and benefits of various nanotechnologies. But time is of the essence, and as the federal government plods toward a strategic plan, several NGOs have already released or are about to release strategic plans of their own, leaving some observers to question just how useful the federal strategy will end up being. Heading the federal government’s efforts to develop an EHS strategic research plan is the National Nanotechnolo...
