What are businesses doing to ensure nanotechnology is safe?
企业正在采取哪些措施来确保纳米技术的安全？
Businesses developing and employing nanotechnology follow applicable U.S. laws and regulations, including the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act, as well as numerous existing laws around the world concerned with the production and use of chemical substances. Innovators and leaders in nanotechnology work to ensure the responsible development of nanotechnology. All participants involved in the life cycle of a product—including production, distribution, use and safe disposal—have a part in understanding and communicating possible impacts to human health and the environment.
开发和使用纳米技术的企业必须遵守适用的美国法律和法规，包括《有毒物质控制法》（TSCA）、《清洁空气法》和《清洁水法》，以及世界各国涉及化学物质的生产和使用的许多现行法律。纳米技术的创新者和领导者努力确保纳米技术得到负责任的开发。涉及产品寿命周期的所有参与者，包括生产、经销、使用和安全处置，在理解和沟通纳米技术对人类健康和环境可能造成的影响方面都负有一部分责任。
