With them dispersing some 70, 000 gallons a day of the chemicals, she says the EPA wasn't comfortable that the science was there to keep water quality safe with that much toxicity.
Nanoscale materials are being used to address current drug delivery shortcomings, including water solubility, ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion) and toxicity.
