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. 606 $aNanotechnology$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aNanotechnology$vCongresses 615 0$aNanotechnology$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aNanotechnology 676 $a610.28 701 $aGoldman$b Lynn$01806536 701 $aCoussens$b Christine$01804930 712 02$aInstitute of Medicine (U.S.).$bRoundtable on Environmental Health Sciences, Research, and Medicine. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910971984103321 996 $aImplications of nanotechnology for environmental health research$94355848 997 $aUNINA
