The article looks specifically at the Safety at Workplace Directives, Directive 61/1996 on the Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control, the European Union’s Directive on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals, and the Waste Management Directive. After analysis, the authors concluded that the applicability of existing environmental laws is limited, as metrology tools to measure nanoparticles in the workplace or in the environment are currently unavailable, and regulatory thresholds are based on toxicological data from larger chemicals. In conclusion, the authors make recommendations of how current laws should be modified, including the establishment of an EU Technical Working Group to exchange information and best practices on how to control the pollution that may result from certain nanotechnologies</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17509740?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record></records></xml>
