Not exact matches

The researchers are using «big data» concepts and techniques to discover and design new nanomaterials — a priority area under the White House's Materials Genome Initiative — using a methodology that will revolutionize materials design, impacting a broad range of products that affect our daily lives, from drugs and agricultural chemicals such as pesticides or herbicides to fuel additives, paints and varnishes, and even personal care products such as shampoo.

The reason: nanomaterials are completely unregulated; industry is under no obligation to keep records on potential hazards or anything else.

The EPA plans to issue a report on its findings within two years; the results will be used to regulate chemicals with nanomaterial content under the Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976 (TSCA).
