Regulatory standards for environmental risks: understanding the US-European Union conflict over Genetically Modified Crops
US (United States) and EU (European Union) approaches to the regulation of GMOs (genetically modified organisms) are often explained using the ideas of ‘sound science’ and the ‘precautionary principle’. These stereotypes, however, can be misleading. They can conceal conflicts within jurisdictions and important interactions between them. This paper avoids these ideas and instead analyzes conflic...

متن کاملNanopesticides: guiding principles for regulatory evaluation of environmental risks.
Nanopesticides or nano plant protection products represent an emerging technological development that, in relation to pesticide use, could offer a range of benefits including increased efficacy, durability, and a reduction in the amounts of active ingredients that need to be used. A number of formulation types have been suggested including emulsions (e.g., nanoemulsions), nanocapsules (e.g., wi...
متن کاملRisk Analysis of Carbon Nanotube Production Processes under Uncertain Occupational Health Risks and Regulatory Standards
Despite the many touted benefits of nanotechnology, considerable uncertainty exists regarding full-scale production costs, occupational health risks, and future regulatory standards. Monte Carlo models were developed to investigate the implications of these uncertainties on high pressure carbon monoxide (HiPco) processes, a common single wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) production method. The health...
