PNNL's EMSL purchases $1M Microscope with its stimulus funds

PNNL's Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL) recently purchased a multi-photon confocal microscope using $1 million of it's $60 million of federal economic-stimulus money awarded to the lab. It is just one of the instruments, which include microscopy and mass spectrometry capabilities, slated for purchase with the stimulus money. In total, 31 new instruments, including upgrades are being purchased with the funds - opening greater opportunities for users of the facilities.

New approached needed to guage the safety of nanomaterials in pestisides

In a study published in the International Journal of Occupational and Environmental Health, scientists from Oregon State University and the European Union outline six regulatory and educational issues that should be considered whenever nanoparticles are going to be used in pesticides. These issues include:
