RESEARCHERS EYE POLLUTION PREVENTION BENEFITS OF NANOTECHNOLOGY

Researchers at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars next month will launch a major effort aimed at using cutting-edge nanotechnology processes in manufacturing to reduce the use of toxic chemicals and the production of wastes that trigger costly management and regulatory requirements. The Wilson Center's "green nano" project is part of the group's broader efforts to identify issues about managing the environmental and human health risks that nanotechnology might pose. The Wilson Center on Jan. 11 released a report,...
