Abstract
Nanotechnology is supposed to drive a "new industrial revolution", according to U.S. government officials, who are investing heavily in it. A few environmental organizations and a significantly large number of business, academic, and government interests have expressed concerns about nanotechnology. We concerns about the technology's potential long-term health and environmental effects.Keywords
