Experts are pointing at the need to ensure the safe development and use of this new technology, but little research has been done about what the possible risks might be. This lack of information is causing regulatory agencies to be unable to pass mandatory regulations for organizations using nanotechnology. At the moment, federal agencies are able to recommend ways to reduce workers' exposure to nanoparticles, and are developing processes such as voluntary registries and reporting programs, as a way to gather more information about this emerging technology.</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scientific American Web site</style></custom1></record></records></xml>
