Nanotechnology is not a completely new field; however, it is only recently that discoveries in this field have advanced so far as to warrant examination of their impact upon the world around us. Nanotechnology has direct beneficial applications for medicine and the environment, but like all technologies it may have unintended effects that can adversely impact the environment, both within the human body and within the natural ecosystem. How does the science move forward in a way that best protects the public and gets health and safety right the first time? Implications of Nanotechnology for Environmental Health Research identifies the areas in which additional research is needed and the processes by which changes can occur.NanotechnologyEnvironmental aspectsNanotechnologyCongressesNanotechnologyEnvironmental aspects.Nanotechnology610.28Goldman Lynn1806536Coussens Christine1804930Institute of Medicine (U.S.).Roundtable on Environmental Health Sciences, Research, and Medicine.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910971984103321Implications of nanotechnology for environmental health research4355848UNINA
