The Nanotechnology Safety Act of 2010

Senator Mark Pryor (D-Ark) introduced "The Nanotechnology Safety Act of 2010" on 1/21/2010 in order to "authorize a program of scientific investigation by the Food and Drug Administration on nanotechnology based medical and health products . . . . [to] enable the FDA to properly study how nanomaterials are absorbed by the human body, how nanomaterials designed to carry cancer fighting drugs target and kill tumors, and how nanoscale texturing of bone implants can make a stronger joint and reduce the threat of infection."
