The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has sent letters to more than 500 organizations and individuals asking them to help design and develop a stewardship program that will help the agency better understand the potential risks and benefits of nanotechnology.

The agency is inviting participation from the public, industry, environmental groups, other federal agencies and other stakeholders in establishing its new Nanoscale Materials Stewardship Program, reports the Student Operated Press.

"By bringing people together to address this emerging technology, we can be well positioned to ensure the responsible development of nanotechnology, while at the same time, realizing its promise for a better tomorrow," said Jim Gulliford, assistant administrator for Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic Substances at EPA. "Through open dialogue, public engagement and sound science, we can establish the appropriate oversight for nanoscale materials and ensure public confidence in its safety."
