Nanopesticides 'need specific regulation' - ABC Science Online, Australia
|
Creating nano-sized versions of pesticide molecules could lead to nanopesticide emulsions that are more stable, more toxic to pests and better absorbed into plants. But the same characteristics that make nanopesticides desirable could also present new risks to humans or the environment. There are no nano-specific regulations so manufacturers may not be legally required to register nano versions of already approved pesticides. |

Nanotechnology certainly will play a major role in a future hydrogen economy. The big question is when most of this hydrogen will be generated from renewable sources and not fossil fuels. Certainly not by 2020.
