The National Nanotechnology Coordination Office (NNCO) organized a meeting on January 4, 2007, to receive public input on research needs related to the environmental, health, and safety aspects of nanotechnology.

The Citizens' Coalition on Nanotechnology was there. See our press release: Madison resident's lone citizen voice in the Halls of Washington

We also composed a list of comments submitted online to the NNCO. You can read it here.

You can download the document Environmental, Health, and Safety Research Needs for Engineered Nanoscale Materials, released on September 15, 2006 here and find more information on the NNCO website.

Other submitted comments can be viewed here.
