| description | "This report deals with the challenges, risks and possibilities of nanotechnology. Current discussions on defining nanomaterials, the lack of knowledge of the presence of products containing nanomaterials currently on the global markets, and some regulatory initiatives for the management of nanomaterials internationally, regionally, and nationally are addressed. The special needs and challenges for developing countries and economies in transition are touched upon. The intention is not to give a complete and in-depth review of the current status in the field of science and regulation of nanomaterials, rather to give the Swedish and international public, and decision makers, an overview in the topic. It can aid decision makers in finding the right priorities, without defining the exact actions to take. Based on the report, the Swedish Society for Nature Conservation, however, does reflect on some concrete actions to be taken by Swedish decision makers. This is reflected only in the preface of the report." |
