Government must research and regulate nanotechnology to protect consumers, report says

The federal government needs to move quickly to ensure that nanotechnologies now being used in consumer products are safe for Canadians, according to a new report, Nanotechnology and Its Impact on Consumers, prepared for the Consumers Council of Canada. Nanotechnology, involving the manipulation of matter at the molecular or atomic level, has already been identified in over 585 consumer products in the U.S. market, most of which are also available to Canadians through retail outlets or over the Internet, despite the fact that there has been virtually no research done into possible health risks to human beings or the effect of nanomaterials on the environment.
