Abstract

According to White House science advisors, U.S. federal gover- nment budgetary, personal, infrastructural and policy support is necessary for research into the Environmental Health and Safety (EHS effects) of exposure to Engineered Nanoscale Mate- rials (ENMs) to guarantee the responsible commercialization of ENMs in consumer and industrial products. Validated databases of exposure data from Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) of products with ENMs requires adequate support and the cooperation of product developers. This article summarizes some EHS exposu- re research accomplished in the absence of the product develo- per cooperation and adequate support. EHS research into food and agriculture applications of nanotechnology is used to exem- plify several challenges in developing the validated LCA expo- sure data bases required for risk assessments and subsequent regulation of nanotechnology enabled products.
