Food which nanotechnology has impacted or to which nanotechnology is applied is referred to as nanofood.  From treatment of the soil in which a crop plant is grown to the caring of a food, nanotechnology is a growing factor in the food supply. At this point, however, there is no definitive, effective global method for regulating the use of nanotechnology as it relates to the food suply.Legislation on nanotechnologies is still evolving, as is understanding what data is needed for effective, efficient and appropriate risk assessment associated with nanotechnology impacted foods. Due to the emerging nature of nanotechnology and its role in the food supply, case-by-case studies are the current norm, but the need for wide-scale testing and broad-based regulatory standards is urgent.This project is based on an EFFoST study designed to provide a comparative study of nanofood regulations in order to guide regulation development in this rapidly expanding market.

Issues in Underground Storage Tank Management presents a comprehensive description of the many complex facets of hazardous waste management, tank closure, and site assessment. It is also the only book to cover financial assurance of UST remediation. Part I discusses UST closure including regulation, closure techniques, site assessment methods and data interpretation, waste disposal, contracting, and health and safety. The book's site assessment section covers such issues as field screening, analytical techniques, sample collection, and equipment decontamination. Part 2 covers financial assurance addressing UST financial responsibility, EPA financial responsibility regulations, use of insurance, use of state funds, and litigation and common law. Non-technical language is used throughout the book to present information in an easy-to-understand, readable fashion.Issues in Underground Storage Tank Management is an essential guide for UST owners, facility managers, environmental and hazardous waste consultants, federal and state environmental regulatory personnel, groundwater professionals, pollution engineers. It also has useful information for anyone involved in petroleum contamination assessment.
