Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences, Division on Earth and Life Studies, Board on Chemical Sciences and Technology, National Research Council, National Materials and Manufacturing Board, Board on Environmental Studies and Toxicology, Committee to Develop a Research Strategy for Environmental, Health, and Safety Aspects of Engineered NanomaterialsThe nanotechnology sector, which generated about $225 billion in product sales in 2009, is predicted to expand rapidly over the next decade with the development of new technologies that have new capabilities. The increasing production and use of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) may lead to greater exposures of workers, consumers, and the environment, and the unique scale-specific and novel properti...
