U.S. federal agencies should better coordinate and increase funds to investigate health and environmental effects of nano-sized particles, according to a report released this week by Andrew Maynard, chief scientist for the Woodrow Wilson Center for International Scholars Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies in Washington, D.C. The report called for more than tripling the $30 million a year the U.S. National Nanotechnology Initiative currently spends on work the report labels as "generally relevant" to nano risk research. The report also says those efforts are not well synchronized; risk research is "all over the place," says DuPont toxicologist David Warheit.
