ABA SEER Clean Air Act Nanotechnology Briefing Paper

American Bar Association (Section of Environment, Energy and Resources) - June 2006

Attorney Mary Ellen Ternes authored this paper outlining the possible application of the Clean Air Act to engineered nanoparticles (specifically excluding non-engineered nanoparticles, such as naturally occurring nanoparticles or nanoparticles from combustion sources) on behalf of the ABA Section of Environment, Energy and Resources (SEER) as part of SEER's Nano-project.

Ms. Ternes then headed up the CAA briefing team for SEER's meeting with EPA's General Counsel Ann Klee and various staff.
