Review
Implications of Nanotechnology for Environmental Health Research
Excerpt
The Roundtable's twelfth meeting examined the environmental health issues surrounding the emergence of nanotechnology. This discussion continued the theme established by previous Roundtable workshops, looking at rebuilding the unity of health and the environment. This workshop summary captures the discussions and presentations by the speakers and participants, who identified the areas in which additional research was needed, the processes by which changes could occur, and the gaps in our knowledge. The views expressed here do not necessarily reflect the views of the Institute of Medicine, the Roundtable, or its sponsors.
