The NIEHS Superfund Basic Research Program and EPA have organized a series of Risk e-Learning internet seminars on "Nanotechnology: Applications and Implications for Superfund." The series will focus on the potential of nanotechnology to improve methods for characterizing and remediating hazardous waste sites and also look at the potential risks of engineered nanomaterials. This series will run through 2007. Seminars that have already taken place are available through the archives.
Nanotechnology and Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER) Symposium took place in July 2006. Presentation slides, biographies of the presenters, and session highlights are now available online.
