Guest guest Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 Nanotechnology raises serious questions about risks to our environment and the way we live - affecting everything from medicines, manufactured goods and extremely powerful military weaponry. _____ From: Eileen Dannemann Nano technology is the new, unregulated science. Before you register for this phone call, check out the video in our NANOTECHNOLOGY and Science Lab Room on www.VaccineLiberationArmy.com .....and it will blow your mind as to what is going on....Eileen This is the cutting edge of the cutting edge of the cutting edge...check our room! Collaborative on Health and the Environment CHE Partnership call: Nanotechnology: A New Chapter in Environmental Health Science We are sending this special reminder of our upcoming CHE Partner conference call on Thursday, June 10 at 10 AM PST / 1 PM EST featuring leading scientific experts on nanotechnology and potential risks or human health. We are usually able to organize our CHE Partner calls with far more lead time, but when we learned that one of our featured speakers on this call is moving to South Asia this month and knowing how many CHE colleagues are interested in these issues, we wanted to offer this call as soon as possible. CALL DESCRIPTION: RSVP for this call <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103462055886 & s=2035 & e=00110y9u9bzsHFV8gP_a8vY37Zs\ AkrMur9k3KsiGnyp8UhsA-PIF3lJvVVLcjdKSg-gjnqaVkCfBVSa l9lRNSvmj7Xn7v6brWRtg_OtZpl1fnFuJPEuDeIceC-FHl7MZ6oPczx3XRTU6ME5cusFdMhDmxItLdrq\ HxcB> Over the past decade, nanomaterials have exploded onto the marketplace, ranging in use from teddy bears and tennis rackets to pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. What do we know about these materials and how are we addressing them from a public health standpoint? The Program on Reproductive Health and the Environment at the University of California, San Francisco recently released a draft version of their report, " A Nanotechnology Policy Framework: Policy Recommendations for Addressing Potential Health Risks from Nanomaterials in California, " which makes recommendations about how to face the new challenges to the policy and risk assessment process that nanomaterials present because of their unique properties. The document draws upon lessons we can learn from past chemical policy experiences and other recent nanotechnology reports in making recommendations for California. The final report is due out the second week of June. Please join CHE to explore the recommendations from this report. Presenters on this call will cover what we know about the unique properties of nanomaterials, why we should be concerned, how nanotechnology is being addressed at the policy and public health level, and what the gaps are in our knowledge. Featured presenters include: * Amber Wise, PhD, Chemist and Postdoctoral Fellow, Program on Reproductive Health and the Environment, University of California, San Francisco * Sass, PhD, Senior Scientist, Natural Resources Defense Council * Carl Cranor, PhD, Professor of Philosophy, University of California, Riverside The call will be moderated by Steve Heilig, CHE Director of Public Health and Education. The call will last one hour and will be recorded for archival purposes.
