Nanomaterials'' unique properties offer revolutionary means to optimize a variety of products, including electronics, textiles, paintings and coatings, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products. However, these same properties mean that nanoscale materials can behave differently in the human body and the environment than conventional materials.

Nanomaterials' unique properties offer revolutionary means to optimize a variety of products, including electronics, textiles, paintings and coatings, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products. However, these same properties mean that nanoscale materials can behave differently in the human body and the environment than conventional materials.Nanotechnology and the Environment provides the fundamental basis needed to assess and understand the life cycle of nanomaterials. It begins with a general explanation of nanomaterials, their properties, and their uses and describes the processes used to manufacture nanoscale materials. Subsequent chapters furnish information on the analysis of nanomaterials in the environment and their fate and transport, including the effects of wastewater treatment on nanomaterials. The book discusses possible risks to human health and the environment and the environment, and describes developing regulations to manage those risks. Given the potential risks, the book explores the apparent paradox of using nanomaterials in environmental remediation. The final chapter discusses frameworks for evaluating the balance between risk and reward as nanomaterials are manufactured, used and released to the environment.

This incisive volume of the Elgar Encyclopedia of Environmental Law offers a broad analysis of the foundations, main concepts, and substantive and procedural requirements of selected chemical law regimes as they pertain to the environment. Featuring contributions from more than 40 expert scholars and practitioners in the field, the volume focuses on chemical regulatory systems from representative jurisdictions, including the EU and the US, to provide a coherent overview of this expansive and often fragmented area of law.Divided into five thematic parts, the volume first examines the fundamental concepts of chemical law, addressing topics including risk assessment, nomenclature, environmental justice and animal testing. Entries then discuss types of chemicals and exposures, regulation of chemicals in products and manufacturing, and waste and contamination, as well as covering liability rules as they apply to chemicals.This volume will be an essential resource for scholars and students looking for a clear understanding of chemicals regulation and governance from environmental and public health perspectives at both national and international levels. Its insights into policy developments and liability issues will also be of interest to policymakers and practitioners.

Long thought of as a quirky, obscure federal law with limited application to entities beyond manufacturers of pure or "neat" chemicals, the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) has new jurisdictional reach and relevance to the business community that are anything but "limited" - and are only expanding. TSCA's metamorphosis from an arcane federal law narrowly targeting chemical manufacturers to an ever-expanding, dynamic, and consequential federal product law with growing relevance to domestic and international product manufacturers marketing their products in the United States is profoundly important and must be understood by product innovators, investors, insurers, manufacturers, importers and exporters, and businesspeople of all stripes in the United States and beyond. Failure to understand TSCA's broad and growing application to business entities could result in catastrophic business decisions and failed businesses.Chemical Product Law and Supply Chain Stewardship: A Guide to New TSCA provides to the business community and others an understanding of TSCA so they can make informed and compliant business decisions. Businesspeople throughout today's supply chain - not merely lawyers and compliance advisors - need to understand TSCA's growing commercial relevance and application over chemicals and manufactured goods produced both domestically and abroad.TSCA profoundly affects business decisions from choice of raw materials to whether a manufacturing operation should be located domestically or abroad, what materials and/or products can or should be imported, how to assess the compositional elements of a product, and much more. Chemical Product Law and Supply Chain Stewardship: A Guide to New TSCA answers these questions from a business transactions perspective rather than an academic or overly legalistic perspective.This book provides a road map to the transformational changes in chemical product law. It identifies the practical business and product stewardship implications of the new normal in product regulation, explains the urgent need for supply chain awareness, and provides practical tips and tools to navigate the commercial chaos new TSCA and product regulation have invited.
