The American Chemistry Council’s Nanotechnology Panel is composed of companies engaged in the production, distribution, and/or use of chemicals with business interests in the products and applications of nanotechnology. The Panel is actively involved in advocating the use of information and the completion of research on nanomaterials that facilitate understanding and manage the health and environmental issues associated with nanoscale materials. 

Additionally, the panel promotes the responsible development of nanoscale materials in accordance with Responsible Care®, supports the use of existing regulatory frameworks for managing nanomaterials and seeks to engage other stakeholders in order to develop and maintain a public awareness and understanding of nanotechnology.
