Berkeley nanotechnology regulations take effect

Filed in archive Regulation by george elvin on December 19, 2006

Nanotechnology regulations imposed by the Berkeley City Council took effect Friday. The council decided last Tuesday to amend its hazardous materials law to include nanoparticles, making Berkeley the nation's only local government to regulate links

nanotechnology.

The unanimous action compels researchers and manufacturers to report what nanotechnology materials they are working with and how they are handling them.

Nabil Al-Hadithy, the city's hazardous material manager, said, "We're hoping others will use this format and duplicate it in health and safety codes around California."

My question is, what evidence will other cities use to include nanoparticles in their hazardous materials law? (photo University of California at Berkeley)

Add your response to Berkeley nanotechnology regulations take effect: Response from: Robert Nolan (12/27/06 7:12pm) And the EPA is getting in on this as well. http://blog.nanomarkets.net/blog/client/index.cfm/2006/12/23/EPA-to-Re gulate-Nanoproducts Response from: george elvin (12/27/06 7:57pm) Thanks Robert. Indeed the feds, including the EPA and FDA, are moving toward nanotech regulation along with at least one local jurisdiction, Berkeley. The question is, what effect will it have on nanotech development? If nothing else, it will certainly make nanotech businesses think twice about about setting up shop in Berkeley.
