Nanotechnology safety concerns
In 2006, Friends of the Earth and International Center for Technology Assessment filed a formal petition with the Food and Drug Administration for better monitoring and regulating of products containing harmful nanoparticles and stated they would sue if the the FDA does not take adequate action in 180 days.[6] CTFA vice president, John Bailey, spoke out against the petition and stated, "I don't think there's anything to worry about ... All of the safety questions have been answered [in previous studies]."[7]
