Nanotech: The Unknown Risks
Nanotechnology, now used in everything from computers to toothpaste, is booming. But concern is growing that its development is outpacing our understanding of how to use it safely.
by carole bass
"It's green, it's clean, it's never seen — that's nanotechnology!"
That exuberant motto, used by an executive at a trade group for nanotech entrepreneurs, reflects the buoyant enthusiasm for nanotechnology in some business and scientific circles.
Part of the slogan is indisputably true: nanotechnology — which involves creating and manipulating common substances at the scale of the nanometer, or one billionth of a meter — is invisible to the human eye.
But the rest of the motto is open for debate. Nanotech does hold clean and green potential, especially for supplying cheap renewable energy and safe drinking water. But nanomaterials also pose possible serious risks to the environment and human health — risks that researchers have barely begun to probe, and regulators have barely begun to regulate.
What's more, the potential damage could take years or even decades to surface. So these tiny particles could soon become the next big thing — only to turn into the next big disaster.
Nano enthusiasts see it as the next "platform technology" — one that will, like electricity or micro-computing, change the way we do almost everything. While that prediction is still unproven, there's no question that nanotech is booming. Universities, industry, and governments around the globe are pouring billions into creating and developing nanoproducts and applications. A range of nanotechnologies is already used in more than 600 consumer products — from electronics to toothpaste — with global sales projected to soar to $2.6 trillion by 2014.
Environmentalists, scientists, and policymakers increasingly worry that nanotech development is outrunning our understanding of how to use it safely. Consider these examples from last month alone:
An animal study from the United Kingdom found that certain carbon nanotubes can cause the same kind of lung damage as asbestos. Carbon nanotubes are among the most widely used nanomaterials.
A coalition of consumer groups petitioned the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to ban the sale of products that contain germ-killing nanosilver particles, from stuffed animals to clothing, arguing that the silver could harm human health, poison aquatic life, and contribute to the rise of antibiotic resistance.
Researchers in Singapore reported that nanosilver caused severe developmental problems in zebrafish embryos — bolstering worries about what happens when those antimicrobial products, like soap and clothing, leak silver into the waste stream.
The U.S. Department of Defense, in an internal memo, acknowledged that nanomaterials may "present… risks that are different than those for comparable material at a larger scale." That's an overarching risk with nanomaterials: Their tiny size and high surface area make them more chemically reactive and cause them to behave in unpredictable ways. So a substance that's safe at a normal size can become toxic at the nanoscale.
Australian farmers proposed new standards that would exclude nanotechnology from organic products.
The European Union announced that it will require full health and safety testing for carbon and graphite under its strict new chemicals law, known as REACH (for Registration, Evaluation, and Authorisation of Chemical Substances). Carbon and graphite were previously exempt, because they're considered safe in their normal forms. But the U.K. study comparing carbon nanotubes to asbestos, along with a similar report from Japan, raised new alarms about these seemingly harmless substances.
Old Materials, New Risks
The EU's move is a critical step toward recognizing nanomaterials as a potential new hazard that requires new rules and new information.
The raw materials of nanotechnology are familiar. Carbon, silver, and metals like iron and titanium are among the most common. But at the nanoscale, these well-known substances take on new and unpredictable properties. That's what makes them so versatile and valuable. It also makes them potentially dangerous in ways that their larger-scale counterparts are not.
Yet governments are only beginning to grapple with those dangers. Japan's labor department issued a notice in February requiring measures to protect workers from exposure to nanomaterials: It may be the world's first nano-specific regulation affecting actual practices. Previously, Berkeley, California — ever ready to stand alone — had adopted what is apparently the only nano-specific regulation in the United States: a requirement that companies submit toxicology reports about nanomaterials they're using.
At the federal level, the EPA launched a voluntary reporting program in January; industry participation has been anemic. Both the EPA and the Food and Drug Administration have so far declined to regulate nanomaterials as such, saying they're covered under existing regulations. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health has issued recommendations for handling nanomaterials, but the agency has no enforcement power.
The European Union, by contrast, is taking a precautionary approach. While U.S. regulators generally presume products to be safe until proven harmful, the EU's new REACH legislation demands that manufacturers demonstrate the safety of their chemicals. Just last week, the EU released a document concluding that nanorisks "can be dealt with under the current legislative framework," with some modifications. For example, the document says that under REACH, when companies introduce nanoforms of existing substances, they must provide additional material about "the specific properties, hazards, and risks" of the nanomaterials.
At this point, however, many of the most basic questions about those nanohazards are unanswered. What materials are harmful, in what particle sizes and shapes, under what conditions? Who is at risk: Workers? People using nano-enabled products? Wildlife and ecosystems? How should we measure exposures?
The U.S. government spends $1.5 billion a year on nano research. Less than 5 percent of that is aimed at addressing these fundamental questions.
Danger Signs
What is known about nanohazards counsels caution.
Nanomaterials are so small that they travel easily, both in the body and in the environment. Their tiny size and high surface area give them unusual characteristics: insoluble materials become soluble; nonconductive ones start conducting electricity; harmless substances can become toxic.
Nanoparticles are easily inhaled. They can pass from the lungs into the bloodstream and other organs. They can even slip through the olfactory nerve into the brain, evading the protective blood-brain barrier. It's not clear whether they penetrate the skin. Once they're inside the body, it's not clear how long they remain or what they do. What's more, current science has no way of testing for nano-waste in the air or water, and no way of cleaning up such pollution.
The tiny cylinders known as carbon nanotubes, or CNTs, are among the most widely used nanomaterials. These tubes, which come in different sizes and shapes, lend extraordinary strength and lightness to bicycle frames and tennis rackets; researchers are also investigating uses in medicine, electronics and other fields. The recent UK study found that long, straight CNTs, when injected into lab mice, cause scarring even faster than asbestos. One of the investigators predicts the scarring will lead to cancer; other experts are less sure. The study doesn't prove whether it's possible to inhale enough CNTs to cause the same results as the injections. But which workers want to serve as the test cases?
Another red flag is silver. Manufacturers are lacing ordinary household objects — from toothpaste to teddy bears — with nanoparticles of silver, long known for its disinfecting powers. A recent experiment on nanosilver-containing socks, touted as odor-eating, found that silver particles leaked out into the wash water. Once there, the silver could interfere with water-treatment efforts, in part by killing good microbes as well as the nasty ones, and might threaten aquatic life (a fear supported by the zebrafish study).
When Samsung started marketing a washing machine that emits silver ions two years ago, a national association of wastewater treatment authorities asked the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to regulate such equipment as pesticides. And indeed, EPA has required some manufacturers to register nanosilver-containing products — like computer keyboards — as pesticides or drop their germ-killing claims.
A farm-oriented pesticide law dating to 1947 is scarcely the right tool for addressing the 21st-century hazards of nanotechnology. But it's the only tool that EPA enforcers have, since the agency's policymakers have explicitly declined to regulate nanomaterials as such.
What Price Convenience?
Of the hundreds of nano-enhanced products now on the market, many are cosmetics, and many others, such as clothing and computer peripherals, are spiked with silver for unnecessary antibacterial effects. Convenience items, like stain-resistant sofas and static-free fleece, are a third big category.
It would be easy to say, "Who needs this stuff? Just wash your hands (or feet, in the case of the smell-resistant socks), clean up your spills and keep the nano magic on the shelf until we know whether it's safe." Indeed, some environmental groups are calling for a moratorium on nano-containing products.
But nanotech also has a tremendous upside in medicine — whether for treating cancer or regrowing bones — and in green applications, from affordable solar cells to super-efficient water filtration. In any case, this technology is not going away. The U.S. House of Representatives voted on June 5 to reauthorize the $1.5 billion-a-year National Nanotechnology Initiative; the Senate is expected to act in the coming weeks.
The House bill mandates "a detailed implementation plan for environmental, health, and safety research." That's an important step forward, but it's not enough. As we hurtle into this very small future, we need to pay much more attention to the potentially large risks.

Discomfort with the promises of nanotech has been a theme in literature for a good while. I recommend Neal Stephenson's almost 15 year old novel _The Diamond Age: Or, A Young Lady's Illustrated Primer_ as one that offers a grim picture of the confluence of corporate science, failed regulatory systems, and a nanotech revolution. All the promises are there, as are many darker impacts of nanotech that deserve to be part of the ethical debate as well.
Posted by Derek Larson on 23 Jun 2008
I think it's important that the public in Europe and the US are given the chance to have a say - and be listened to. The last thing Nanotech needs is to be seen on a par with GM or Monsanto.
Europe regards both of those with a high degree of suspicion and distrust; given Monsanto's history of Agent Orange, DDT and stifling negative scientific results it's hard not to.

A significant effort to regulate nanotech products is crucial in the proliferation and success of the nanotech industry. We've already witnessed the fear of transgenic produce spread through the public - at times warranted, often not - due to lack of education on the new technology. We cannot allow negative public opinion to hamper nanotech growth.
Regulation, however, must be coupled with favorable public policy. This includes R&D tax credits and government funding for both basic research and movement toward nanotech commercialization. Nanotech progress cannot be fettered by too much regulation; this may cause a migration of such companies over-seas to nations such as India, where the cost of the market-entry process is decreased by relaxed government regulation. At a time where the US economy is in peril and innovation has taken a downturn, we cannot afford to shy away from a promising industry that will flourish elsewhere.
Posted by Clara Voigt on 25 Jun 2008
I believe that nanotech can be of great benefit to mankind. I believe that this technology, properly harnessed can do things we haven't yet begun to dream of. HOWEVER, like fire, when not properly safeguarded it has the potential for major (catastrophic) harm. I think that anyone that is working in this field that doesn't think about the potential harm as well as the good should find some other field of endeavor where the damage done won't have such grave consequences if they get it wrong.

Half a Glass
The incomplete contrition of serial liar Stephen Glass.
Glass's inadequacy on the contrition front rang as false as anything he's ever written. Although he has recently penned personal letters of apology to many of the New Republiccolleagues he duped, his "faction" novel undercuts those regrets. He portrays himself as a victim in The Fabulist and presents easily identifiable co-workers as the ass, the flunky, and the backstabber. (Please don't tell me it's "just a novel.")
There are many paths to redemption the wicked can choose. Confession, for example. Regret and apology often work, as do acts of contrition and humility. But a roman à clef in which the evil-doer comes out on top to the detriment of those he harmed would not make my list.
Glass probably thinks that his therapy has set him on a course that will return him to humanity's good graces, and that his five years of self-imposed silence and urban hermitry constitute some sort of penance. They don't, of course. But what gestures could this pariah make that would satisfy me and dull Andrew Sullivan's righteous anger? Because Glass swaddles himself in the language of recovery, I'm not out of bounds to prescribe him a 6-Step Program for making amends. To wit:
1) Sullivan makes an excellent point when he notes that The Fabulist compounds Glass' sins because he deliberately traded on his notoriety for commercial gain. Nobody would have published this book had it been a pure act of imagination. Glass should repudiate the book, return the money to the publisher, or give it to a charity.
2) Glass should block the publication of a paperback edition of The Fabulist to avoid any additional gain from his heinous behavior. Lest I be accused of Comstockery, I propose that Glass make his novel available for free on the Web for the edification of the curious.
3) There are at least a dozen Glass articles that the New Republichas never been able to verify. Glass, who parried questions about the veracity of those articles, should correct the record. Until he comes completely clean about his journalism, his remorse is empty.
4) Glass recently wrote a piece for Rolling Stone, indicating a desire to return to journalism. Until he completes Steps 1, 2, and 3, he shouldn't even think of writing for publication.
5) Glass passed the New York state bar exam and awaits the review of the bar's character and witness examiners. Unless they find evidence of criminal wrongdoing, he'll probably win approval. Washington City Paper's Tom Scocca made an excellent observation at the discussion when he pointed out to Glass in so many words that becoming an officer of the court might be a little presumptuous for someone who broke so many journalistic laws. Glass should withdraw his application from the bar and not think about practicing law … until I say so.
6) Last, Glass should think of spending a couple of months (at the very least) on an endeavor that does not benefit him or his ego—he should shelve that new novel he's working on immediately. Glass needn't bathe lepers, or join Charles Colson's prison ministry, or donate a kidney to a Guatemalan peasant, but he needs to do something symbolic that shows more remorse than mumbled and scribbled apologies. Send your suggestions to email@example.com and I'll amend this piece with the most constructive ones. (Click here for the reader contributions.)
Not being any sort of Christian, I don't believe in redemption. But criminals, jerks, and even chronic prevaricators such as Stephen Glass should get second chances if they prove worthy. If, by coming out of his shell, Glass means to pave some sort of path to normality, I'm willing to entertain sincere gestures on his part. Shutting up and doing something substantive to regain our trust would be a good place to start.
Correction, Nov. 11, 2003: The original version of this article stated that The Fabulist was published in August 2003, instead of May. Return to the corrected sentence.

Perfect Economical Gift

This is a really nice economical gift for a neighbor or office gift exchange. Or get something nice for yourself! Shopping here can save you lots of money, I have never had to pay anything for shipping, and the service is great.
Not for me
Posted by 5503259751495504463 on Feb 05, 2013
I am 45 years old and have pure normal/combination skin with no allergy. And this is not for me at all. I was disappointed. Cleansing lotion is nothing special, lathers very little, toner gives me a feeling that I wipe my face just with water, cream leaves my skin oily for almost all day long. Wont' buy it again. Very good that i bought just travel size. Try before you buy - is a wonderful idea. I wish all the cosmetics had travel sizes.
i don't like the package!!

Posted by HeidiT on Jun 01, 2012
My favourite in this kit is the toner, and I will definitely buy the larger size. It worked very well and it didn't cause any breakouts. I also liked the moisturizer at first, as I thought the smell was pleasant and it absorbed well, but it didn't moisturize my skin as well as I needed it too, and lines startet to appear under my eyes within a week.
Posted by Reviewer1864744 on Mar 02, 2012
I was wishing, hoping, and praying that these natural products would be the end to my skin care regime search, but I was let down. I have very dry skin due to eczema with the tendency to get very oily in places causing moderate acne. The facial cleanser was thick and greasy. It didn't even thoroughly clean my face. It felt like I just slathered creamy oil on. The toner made my face sting a bit and finally, the moisturizer didn't do much but sit on top of my face. I ended up getting pimples and cystic acne which I never get, in places on my face where I've never had problems!!!! So disappointed. I'm glad I bought this before buying the larger sizes.
not all the good
Posted by Reviewer3029425 on Nov 02, 2011
good mask & cream. But the others are bad.
Not for me.
Posted by Reviewer1574119 on Sep 15, 2011
This one is probably better for those with dry skin, it didn't do my sensitive combination skin any good. Maybe I'll just try the Aubrey one for combination skin next time.
Posted by Reviewer2701612 on Aug 22, 2011
This set is perfect for trying a new product. It works really well at cleansing and moisturizing with out irritating my sensitive skin.

Kid Rock Pulls Out of Detroit Music Awards Appearance
Kid Rock won't be attending the Detroit Music Awards ceremony on Friday (April 29).
Kid Rock won't be attending the Detroit Music Awards ceremony on Friday (April 29).
Kid Rock, Loretta Lynn and Merle Haggard haven't been shy about sharing their thoughts on Donald Trump running for president.
The 2016 WE Fest lineup has just gotten a little louder, and a whole lot wilder. Kid Rock will headline the three-day camping and country music festival next August, joining previously-announced headliners Eric Church and Tim McGraw.
Country bad boy Kid Rock is ready to take over Wisconsin next August. The "All Summer Long" singer will help close summer with a rockin-rebel show at Country on the River 2016.
Tattoos are becoming more and more prevalent these days, with many big fans wanting to show their love for their favorite country music artists in a very ... dedicated ... way. Unfortunately, sometimes that devotion can turn into something to be less than proud of.
Alan Jackson will open SeaWorld's Bands, Brew & BBQ concert series this weekend at the theme park in Orlando, Fla. The country legend will perform on Saturday, while Kid Rock will perform on Sunday, despite heavy pressure from fans and animal rights groups for all artists on the schedule to cancel their appearances.
There may be nothing funnier than celebrities reading mean tweets about themselves. Jimmy Kimmel has done it again, this time with a musician edition of his popular 'Mean Tweets' segment. Lady Antebellum, Darius Rucker and many others read the worst of the them.

Well, that's entirely understandable.
Yes, they were protesting outside a Bon Jovi concert. I wasn't there but I heard about it.
From that story, though.. "The Westboro Baptist Church from Topeka has gained notoriety in the past few years for showing up at the funerals of soldiers killed in action, arguing the military's tolerance of homosexuality brought about the soldiers' deaths."
So homosexuality was tolerated at the time of the Civil War, was it? WWI? WWII? Korea? Vietnam? I'm pretty sure there were a few soldiers killed in all those, too.

Man, i'm sick of it. I pay an ungodly amount of taxes, i'm talikn like over $2000 PER FUCKIN MONTH to our government.......and to add insult to injury almost daily i see people (99% of the time minorities)reaping the rewards of my hard work and dedication.
Just yesterday i watched a mexican woman argue with a county clerk about something for 30 minutes. The whole time the mexican lady is standing up. Suddenly she breaks in with, "But i'm on disability!"........really? You can stand up for 30 minutes arguing, but you're disabled? I have laid 1000 feet of tile over 15 hours with pinched nerves in my back. I have shingled school buildings with a broken foot, AND pinched nerves. I have worked 18 hours per day on commercial fishing boats with borderline carpal tunnel, and a bad back.
There's too many jobs i've done injured and broke down to even number, yet i go to the store and see 400 pound, young black men using food stamps for twinkies, and rolls of cash for beer.
I drive down through the East side and see people BBQing at FUCKING midnite. Their kids in diapers waddling through the streets as their folks drink their 'juice' and smoke their ribs. They seem to always have weed, cigarettes, beer, and fastfood to cram in the fatass faces. I never see any of them up before noon. I seriously get happy if i see a black man in a car at 8am on his way to work....but drive around at 2am and they're all over the place. I know they aren't getting up and going to work after BBQing and drinking till sun-up.
Man, this shit has to stop. The ones who work their asses off and save and try and be diligent with their money are the ones who have to raise the ones who are too lazy, dumb, and rude to even try and get a job. They don't have to work cause their 'homey' or 'auntie' or cousin works down at the welfare office and 'has their back' and can 'hook them up'.
I'm ready for doom on this country. I'm ready for these fucking leeches of society to be bitch-slapped with the reality that the free ride is over. I can't wait to watch them flip the fuck out and destroy and loot each other till they start starving to death. Doom is needed to sweep up the trash........

Murder victim
Early this morning, Kevin L. Hampton, 43, of Terre Haute, was charged with the murders of former Brazil resident Tanette "Toni" Dickison, 18, Cassie Harris, 48, of Terre Haute, and the murder of 18-year old Diana Lehman, of Terre Haute, in 2000.
A joint team consisting of Clay County Sheriff Mike Heaton, Indiana State Police Trooper Jared Nicosin and Detective Tony Guinn immediately began investigating the murder once Dickison's body was discovered floating in a private pond on the south side of CR 600 N on Nov. 30, 2004. No murder weapon or sign of a struggle was found at the scene.
An autopsy report from Vigo County Coroner Dr. Roland Kohr indicated that there was no indication of drugs or alcohol as contributing factors to Dickison's death.
During the Dickison investigation, Cassie Harris' family reported the woman missing and Terre Haute Police Detective Starla Neidigh was assigned to investigate her disappearance.
The discovery on Feb. 10, 2005, of 48-year-old Cassie M. Harris' partially decomposed body in a creek near a plant owned by Novelis in Vigo County. Kohr's autopsy report showed that Harris had died two months prior to being discovered.
The cause of death was not released to the public in either the Dickison or the Harris case in an effort to preserve the integrity of the investigations, but officials did say that the victims knew each other.
This led to the involvement of the Terre Haute Police Department and the Vigo County Sheriff's Department in the Dickison case when the link was discovered between the two women.
"They knew each other, how well we don't know," Indiana State Police Sgt. Joe Watts told The Brazil Times in February. "They ran in some of the same circles. They knew some of the same people."
Now the Dickison and Harris cases have been connected to the murder of 18-year old Diana Lehman, of Terre Haute, in May of 2000.
Lehman was found murdered in her home at 2240 Tippecanoe St. in Terre Haute on May 19. A preliminary autopsy report at the time revealed that Lehman was strangled to death around 3 a.m.
According to family reports published in The Tribune Star at the time, the young woman had recently moved out of her parents home to start a new life with her 18-month-old son and had only lived at the home on Tippecanoe St. for two or three months at the time of her murder.
Investigators at the time would not release the names of suspects or any further details case.
Clay County Prosecutor Lee Reberger and Chief Deputy Chip Allen will participate in the prosecution of Hampton for the deaths of Dickison and Harris.
Hampton will be arraigned this afternoon around 1:30 p.m. in the Vigo Superior Court Division 3 in Terre Haute. At that time the formal charge will be read to him and further court proceedings will be scheduled.
If convicted of all charges, Hampton faces a total of 235 years imprisionment.
"This investigation will continue, we're not done collecting evidence," Clay County Sheriff Mike Heaton said. "There is a lot more to do to complete this process over the next few months."
Officials are urging the public with any information concerning these crimes that has not already been disclosed to contact law enforcement.

OREGON COUNTY -- Officers with the Oregon County Sheriff's Office transported a Koshkonong man to the Missouri Department of Corrections June 21 for probation violations.
Andy Roark, 23, was first arrested for burglary and stealing, a class C felony, in November of 2001.
Deputy Sheriff Eric King responded to a call from Linda Roark who reported a calf stolen from her farm on W Highway. King said when he arrived at the Roark farm, Roark told him she had discovered two Holstein heifers and one black bull calf were missing from the lot behind her house.
King said he later learned Brian Barton of Thayer had bought three calves. Barton told Sheriff Tim Ward that Andy Roark and another man, Jamie Garrison, came to his home Nov. 24 and 25 and wanted to know if he wanted to buy three calves. Barton told Ward he bought two Holstein heifers and one black bull from the men for $125.
After talking to the sheriff Barton returned the calves to the Roark farm and they confirmed that the calves were the ones missing from their farm. Linda Roark is Andy Roark's mother.
On April 3, 2002, Roark pleaded guilty to the burglary and stealing charge and Oregon County Circuit Judge William H. Hass sentenced him to three-years supervised probation.
On Nov. 19, 2002, the prosecutors office filed a motion to revoke Roark's probation for violations. The motion said on June 30, 2002, Roark was arrested for misdemeanor possession of marijuana by Oregon County Deputy Luke Simmons.
He did not report the arrest to his probation officer in 48 hours as the terms of his probation specified.
Judge Hass sent him to the Missouri Department of Corrections for three years on Nov. 19, 2002.
Ward said Roark was paroled for good behavior but did not know why he was sent back to prison last week. He said the parole violation did not occur in Oregon County. Ward said when a parole violation occurs outside the county his office is not supplied with information concerning the offense; they are just notified to transport the offender.

Reidsville man faces murder charge after woman's death
Published: Sunday, May 30, 2010 at 7:05 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, May 30, 2010 at 7:05 p.m.
A Reidsville man has been charged with killing his common-law wife Sunday morning near Old U.S. Highway 52 in northern Davidson County.
Beresford Allen Campbell, 52, of 1325 Linville Drive, has been charged with murder. Davidson County Sheriff David Grice said the 48-year-old woman he killed was his common-law wife. Grice said Sunday the name of the woman, who is also from Reidsville, is not being released pending notification of next of kin. On Monday, the victim was identified as Beverly Wiley.
Grice said the two apparently have no ties to Davidson County and were just passing through when the killing occurred. The site of the murder is near the Forsyth County line, about a mile north of Gumtree Road.
Grice said a call for help was received at 10:42 a.m. Sunday. When officers arrived they found the woman lying beside a car bleeding from numerous wounds. Grice described the injuries as "edge-weapon wounds."
The woman was transported to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem where she was pronounced dead. Grice said an autopsy will be performed at the hospital.
An off-duty Kernersville police officer was already at the scene along with about 10 others helping the victim when deputies arrived. Grice said the off-duty officer also detained Campbell until other deputies arrived.
Grice said Campbell reportedly ingested a bottle of prescription medicine at the scene and was transported to Lexington Memorial Hospital where he was treated before being released about 3:30 p.m.
A 6-year-old was in the vehicle when the incident occurred, Grice said. He said the child was not hurt and was taken to the Davidson County Department of Social Services to meet with his grandfather.
Old U.S. Highway 52 was blocked for almost three hours while the death was investigated.
Grice said this is the fourth murder in Davidson County this year.

Welcome To Directorate of Nursing Services (DNS)
The Directorate of Nursing Services (DNS) is the central body and focal point from which all activities relating to public sector nursing in Bangladesh are managed. This includes all involved in nursing and midwifery education and practices. Though regulation of nursing education and practice is the responsibility of the Bangladesh Nursing Council (BNC), the BNC works closely with the DNS in regulating nursing and midwifery services.
The DNS has similar responsibilities in terms of executive authority to other Directorates under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW). The DNS is a member of most policy-making committees at national level relating to health services and education within the public sector.
The DNS is one of the four current Directorates within the MoHFW. It is the highest body for managing the overall administration of public sector nursing services and education in Bangladesh. Its main responsibilities are:
