Nanotechnology and Asbestos: Informing Industry About Carbon Nanotubes, Nanoscale Titanium Dioxide, and Nanosilver

摘要

With greater knowledge comes greater responsibility and greater liability. When it comes to nanotechnology, our ability to understand the potential risks is unprecedented, thanks in part to the asbestos mass tort experience. If the nanotechnology industry wants to avoid a similar catastrophe, the lessons of the asbestos litigation should be heeded now.
