Nanotechnology promises to have far reaching impacts on the economy, including offering technological advances in pollution control. While over 200 products that use nanomaterials are already in the marketplace, minimal data exist on the health and environmental effects of nanomaterials. This poses significant questions for companies, regulators, consumers, and lawyers. The "Nanotechnology Deskbook" guides the reader through the application of existing law and regulations to nanomaterials by exploring domestic laws and regulations and considering developments in the international context. It includes a focus on special business considerations when this technology is involved and concludes by discussing the development of an effective environmental governance structure for nanotechnologies that protects human health and the environment without stifling the development of this new field.

Editorial Reviews
Review
...This is not a scientist's book. Those who can't tell a quantum dot from a fullerene need not be intimidated. Instead, this timely book looks carefully at the key statutes that govern aspects of nanomaterials throughout their lifecycles...There is simply no other single source that provides such a comprehensive overview of the governance structure and hot issues in nanotechnology. --Mark Duvall, The Dow Chemical Company
This is a "must have" guidebook through the legal maze of the nanotechnology revolution. . . No lawyer, businessperson, policymaker or government official can afford to be without this Deskbook. --Julia A. Moore, Deputy Director, Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies, Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars
It addresses nanotechnologies benefits, potential concerns, details current and potential applications all with an international focus. It not only examines and recommends effective governance structures but it also outlines research priorities to support those structures. This book lives up to its title "Nanotechnology Deskbook," it will definitely stay on your desk and not on the bookshelf. --Terry L. Medley, Global Director of Corporate Regulatory Affairs, DuPont
