Control of Nanoscale Materials under the Toxic Substances Control Act

Many nanoscale materials are regarded as chemical substances, but they may have different properties than their larger counterparts. EPA is working to ensure that nanoscale materials are manufactured and used in ways that prevent risk to health.

Fact Sheet: Nanoscale Materials

This page provides information on how EPA treats nanoscale materials, particularily chemicals under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).
