24 Mission of UC CEIN The mission of the UC CEIN is to insure that nanotechnology is introduced and implemented in a responsible and environmentally-compatible manner to allow the US and the International community to leverage the benefits of nanotechnology for global economic and social benefit

25 Objectives of the UC CEIN Develop a library of reference NMs Understand the impacts of different types of NMs on organisms and ecological systems Develop a predictive model of toxicology and environmental impacts of NMs Develop guidelines and decision tools for safe design and use of NMs
