Has enthusiasm to exploit their remarkable properties run too far ahead of safety considerations? […] Industry and government regulators maintain that the unique size and properties of nanoscale materials do not warrant a closer look at the potential health, safety and environmental impacts. However, the ETC Group explains why size matters. […] An entire molecular electronics industry is poised to take off, much of it on the back of carbon nanotubes. But new research found that nanotubes are highly damaging to the lungs of mice. […] Nanotechnology has been touted as a ‘trillion-dollar industry’. However, before attempting to jump onto this bandwagon, developing countries must sift through the hype and consider potential hazards. […] The relationship between the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety and the WTO agreements has yet to be settled. The following article examines how the WTO agreements impact on biosafety and the Cartagena Protocol.
