Résumé : |
It is believed that the potential applications and development of nanotechnology, and the use of nanomaterials in consumer products, are proceeding much faster than our knowledge and understanding of the safety, health and environmental issues of these materials. Without this knowledge, how can we defend against the potential risks that these materials may pose to human health and the environment? What might these risks be, and how can exposure to nanoparticles be measured and assessed? |
