Yale journal finds nanomaterials may have large environmental footprint

Date:10/22/2008

sing from the production technologies used to make nanomaterials need attention as well."

Other topics explored in the special issue include:

Approaches for identifying and reducing the life cycle hazards of nanomaterials
Quantified life cycle energy requirements and environmental impacts from nanomaterials
Tradeoffs between nanomanufacturing costs and occupational exposure to nanoparticles
Efficiency of techniques for nanomaterials synthesis
Improvement of the sustainability of bio-based products through nanotechnology
Industrial frameworks for responsible nanotechnology
Industrial and public perception about the risks and benefits of nanomaterials
Governance and regulation of nanotechnology

Industrial ecology is a field that examines the opportunities for sustainable production and consumption, emphasizing the importance of a systems view of environmental threats and remedies. "Through the use of tools such as life cycle assessment, green chemistry and pollution prevention, industrial ecology takes a broad and deliberate view of environmental challenges," states Reid Lifset, editor-in-chief of the Journal of Industrial Ecology. "This special issue shows the power of this approach."
