Orphan date February 2009 ImpNano Fail safe s in nanotechnology are devices or features integrated with nanotechnology which, in the event of failure , respond in a way that will cause no harm, or at least a minimum of harm, to other devices or personnel. Fail safe principles are governed by national standards and engineering practices, and are widely used in conventional engineering design. It is possible to scale down macro scale fail safe principles and devices for similar applications at the nano scale. ref Whitesides, George M. and J Christopher Love. The Art of Building Small. Scientific American Reports Sep. 2007 13 21. ref The use of fail safes in nanotechnology applications supports social acceptance of those applications by reducing the risks to users As of 2009 alt as of 2009 , there are both theoretical and practical ways to implement fail safe designs in nanotechnology. Citation needed date November 2010 A predominant challenge to the social acceptance of nanotechnology is concerned with the Nanomedicine medical use of nanostructures in the human body. While any structure for medical use would be developed to be bio compatible and harmless, sound engineering design must take into account all possibilities of failure. Thus, the design would include ways to manipulate the structures in the body in the event of failure.

In groundwater remediation a variety of technologies may be used for decontamination. Nanotechnology , especially using zero valent metals ZVMs , represents just one of these approaches. Remediation Process Nanotechnology offers the ability to effectively enable contaminant treatment in situ . The process begins with the injection of nanoparticles into a contaminated aquifer via an injection well. The nanoparticles are then transported to the source of contamination by the groundwater flow where they then degrade the contaminant. Nanoparticles can sequester via adsorption or complexation , immobilizing them, or they can degrade the contaminants to less harmful compounds. Contaminant transformations are typically redox reactions. When the nanoparticle is the oxidant or reductant, it is considered reactive. ref name Environ Nanotech Lowry, G. V. 2007 .

Multiple issues unreferenced December 2009 orphan December 2009 The American National Standards Institute Nanotechnology Standards Panel ANSI NSP enables stakeholders in nanotechnology to work together to coordinate the development of voluntary Quality standards standards . Such standards include terminology and materials properties and measurement procedures to facilitate commercialization of applications and uses of nanotechnology. ANSI established the panel in August 2004, and membership is open to all parties interested in nanotechnology standards. Objectives Objectives of the ANSI NSP include Providing a forum to define needs, determine work plans and establish priorities for updating standards or creating new standards. Soliciting participation from sectors that have not traditionally participated in the voluntary standards system. Facilitating the development and adoption of standards in the area of nanotechnology in general and nomenclature terminology specifically. Making available the results of the panel s work.
