This article reviews the public health and environmental regulations applicable to nanotechnology using a life cycle model from basic research through end-of-life for products. Given nanotechnology's immense promise and public investment, regulations are important, balancing risk with the public good. Trading zones and earth systems engineering management assist in explaining potential solutions to gaps in an otherwise complex, overlapping regulatory system.
本文使用从产品基础研究到报废的生命周期模型，回顾了适用于纳米技术的公共卫生和环境法规。鉴于纳米技术有着巨大的前景和公共投资，法规很重要，要在风险与公共利益之间取得平衡。贸易区和地球系统工程管理有助于解释在原本复杂、重叠的监管体系中弥补差距的潜在解决方案。
