EPA Conference is indeed about nanotechnology for pollution prevention

You may recall that back in July I posted a rather disappointed comment on the announced EPA Conference on how nanotech can be used to both remediate and reduce pollution.

It seemed that the agenda had been hijacked by environmental concerns over nanotech and had lost its focus on the benefits of how nanotechnology can improve the environment.

But I held out hope...and sometimes your wishes are granted. While the agenda still puts concerns over the lifecycle of nanomaterials in a prominent place, it is more than made up by a really interesting list of new nanotechnologies and the various beneficial impacts they have on pollution issues.

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.
