Perception of Risks and Nanotechnology
There is no scientific evidence to support the notion that nanoparticles and nanotubes – basic components of nanotechnology-based products – pose risks to human health and the environment. Yet, there already have been considerable discussions in the mass media and the U.S. Senate about the potential hazards of nanoparticles and nanotubes, on how they possibly interact with living organisms and ...
متن کاملNanotechnology and public health.
Nanotechnology is developing very quickly, and Japan is in many respects leading the world in this convergence of nanoscale engineering techniques. The public health community in Japan must start to think about the public health impacts of nanotechnology over the next 20 years. The responsibility for the benefits and the harms of nanotechnology lies with government, with corporations and the bu...
متن کاملFraming effects on risk perception of nanotechnology
How do people judge nanotechnology risks that are completely unfamiliar to them? Drawing on results of previous studies on framing and risk perception, two hypotheses about potential influences on nanotechnology risk perception were examined in an experimental study: 1) Risk perception of nanotechnology is influenced by its benefit perception. 2) Risk perception of nanotechnology is influenced ...
متن کاملCurrent research on public perceptions of nanotechnology
This review explores research on public perceptions of nanotechnology. It highlights a recurring emphasis on some researchers' expectations that there will be a meaningful relationship between awareness of nanotechnology and positive views about nanotechnology. The review, however, also notes that this emphasis is tacitly and explicitly rejected by a range of multivariate studies that emphasize...
متن کاملWhat drives public acceptance of nanotechnology?
How do the risks and benefits of nanotechnology, as viewed by the public, compare with those associated with other technologies such as genetically modified organisms, stem cells, biotechnology and nuclear power? And when deciding to use a specific nanotechnology product, will consumers consider the risks, the benefits, or both? We report the first large-scale empirical analyses of these questi...
