Several parties are involved in the disclosure process: 1. Researchers and Scientists: They publish their findings in scientific journals, present at conferences, and submit patent applications. 2. Companies and Industries: They provide information about their products, including safety data sheets and regulatory filings. 3. Regulatory Bodies: Organizations like the FDA, EPA, and OSHA may require specific disclosures for nanotechnology products and processes. 4. Funding Agencies: Government and private funding bodies often mandate disclosure of research outcomes as a condition of grant funding.
