Chemicals: Dossiers

Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology deals with structures which are smaller than 100 nanometers. That is less than eight hundredths of the thickness of a hair. Numerous applications for this new technology only exist as yet on paper or in research scientists' laboratories. Not a great deal is known about the possible risks for humans and the environment, nor about the potential this technology holds.
