Who Put the Nano in My Teddy Bear? - Nanotechnology Now, USA
When we recently updated our inventory of manufacturer-identified, nanotech-enabled consumer products, there were a few surprises: the product landscape was now dotted with some new entries targeted clearly at children (and, by default, their parents). It is probably worth asking some questions about their safety or asking, more broadly, "Who is in charge of testing these products and making sure that they do not present risks to children, especially products that go directly into the mouth?"

Nano Talk - Jennifer Sass's Blog, USA
From mascara to tennis balls to baby wipes, tiny nanomaterials are hidden in many of the products we use every day. Although there is much more we’d like to know about how exposure to nanomaterials affects human health and the environment, preliminary studies demonstrate that some nanomaterials are likely to be harmful.

NRDC and nano - Jennifer Sass's Blog, USA
NRDC proposes a three-part framework for regulating nanomaterials based on a precautionary approach to managing toxic chemicals:
- Prohibit the untested or unsafe use of nanomaterials.
- Conduct full lifecycle environment, health, and safety impact assessments as a prerequisite to commercialization.
- Facilitate full and meaningful participation by public and workers in nanotechnologies development and control
