"The Program on Reproductive Health and the Environment has developed a draft set of policy recommendations to address potential health risk from nanomaterials and nanotechnology for the state of California. This draft document addresses the new challenges that nanomaterials present to the policy and risk assessment process because of their unique properties. It draws upon lessons we can learn from past chemical policy experiences and other recent nanotechnology reports in making recommendations for California."
