Abstract
The advent of nanotechnology is considered to be the biggest engineering innovation since the Industrial Revolution. Proponents of this new technology promise to reengineer the man-made world, molecule by molecule, sparking a wave of novel revolutionary commercial products from machines to medicine This “industrial revolution” in molecular manufacturing will alter the relationship of materials so profoundly that this change may produce both positive and negative effects on health and the environment. The worldwide market for products produced using nanotechnology is estimated to reach US $1 trillion by 2015 (Gwinn and Vallyathan 2006a).
