Perception of Risks and Nanotechnology

There is no scientific evidence to support the notion that nanoparticles and nanotubes – basic components of nanotechnology-based products – pose risks to human health and the environment. Yet, there already have been considerable discussions in the mass media and the U.S. Senate about the potential hazards of nanoparticles and nanotubes, on how they possibly interact with living organisms and ...

Nanotechnology : assessing the risks

technology, an enabling technology, and the next technological revolution. Even accounting for a certain level of hype, a heady combination of high-level investment, rapid scientific progress, and exponentially increasing commercialization point toward nanotechnology having a significant impact on society over the coming decades. However, enthusiasm over the rate of progress is being tempered i...

Nanotechnology and animal health.

Nanotechnology, as a new enabling technology, has the potential to revolutionise agriculture and food systems in the United States of America and throughout the world. Examples of potential applications of nanotechnology in the science and engineering of agriculture and food systems include disease treatment delivery systems, new tools for molecular and cellular biology, the security of agricul...
