In this paper, we summarize some of the key data gaps, uncertainties, and unknowns that need to be addressed to develop adequate risk assessments for nanomaterials. We make recommendations to take timely and appropriate public health precautions. We also briefly discuss nanotechnology applications for food and food packaging, and describe the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Nanotechnology in Society Project.
在本文中,我们总结了一些关键的数据空白、不确定性以及未知因素,这些都是为纳米材料制定充分的风险评估时需要解决的问题。我们提出建议,以便及时采取适当的公共卫生预防措施。我们还简要讨论了纳米技术在食品和食品包装中的应用,并介绍了威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的社会纳米技术项目。
