written.in.a.few.years,.would.contain.much.more.detail.and.could.address.technical.
questions.more.fully..But.the.community.of.scientists,.engineers,.regulators,.and.the.
public. cannot. wait. for. the. results. of. mature. research;. given. the. possible. risks. and.
rewards.of.nanotechnology,.we.must.explore.what.is.known.about.the.ramiications.
of.nanotechnology.and.the.environment.now.
