- Title
Large effects of nanotechnology.
- Authors
Rejeski, David
- Abstract
The article presents the author's comment on the social and environmental implications of nanotechnology. According to the author, the National Nanotechnology Initiative's (NNI) governance and overall coordination are done through the National Science and Technology Council. The NNI has functioned as an R&D coordination body, not a broader effort to develop innovative regulatory or social policy. As more and more nano-based products move into the marketplace, the social and environmental issues will become more complex, the need for public engagement more urgent, and the push for effective oversight more critical.
