The Issues of Nano-Safety

Posted by Hemos on from the nano-nano-nano dept.

Ineffable 27 writes "Today's New York Times has an interesting article looking at some of the emerging research into the health and safety risks of nanotech and nanomaterials." Free reg. blah blah. It's a decent article, but it's the same type of questions that groups like The Foresight Institute have been thinking about for a long long time now.

    Won't someone think of the children? Other than slashdot editors - who think of them only as sexual playthings.

    I'm worried about the safety implications of children being exposed to Tacos nano-bits.
