Nanomaterials present new opportunities to improve our ability to detect, monitor, control, and clean up environmental pollutants and contaminants and potential new risks to human health and the environment. Plan now to attend the 2008 International Environmental Nanotechnology Conference: Applications and Implications. The conference will bring together researchers and practitioners from around the world to discuss the nanotechnology applications for remediation of environmental contaminants; the implications of releasing manufactured nanoparticles into the environment, and pollution control and nano-enabled sensing. The international character of the meeting is highlighted by the nanotechnology experts from Australia, France, Ireland, Japan, Korea, The Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States who will provide keynote commentary on focus areas of the conference program.
It is EPA’s policy to make reasonable accommodation to persons with disabilities wishing to participate in the agency’s programs and activities, pursuant to the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, 29 U.S.C. 791.
