There are more than four hundred nanotechnology based products selling in the market but very little is known regarding the potential risks posed by this technology. In 2006 itself nanotechnology found a place in goods worth $30 million and by 2014 the figure is expected to cross the mark of $2.6 trillion. Today you can find nanotechnology in a number of goods ranging from cosmetics to computer chips. As of now there is little information available regarding the risks posed by nanotechnology which also includes exposure of workers. When compared with the commercial application of nanotechnology the spending on risk focused research is miniscule. Andrew Maynard, Chief Science Advisor, Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies states: Because nanotechnology is a way of doing or making things rather than a discrete technology, there will never be a one-solution-fits-all approach for nanotechnology and nanomaterials workplace safety. Till the time more data is collected on the risks posed by nanotechnology Maynard suggests that good hygiene practices in the work place should be complemented with nano specific knowledge and control banding approach needs to be adopted which is a course of action between inaction and banning all nanomaterials as hazardous. Definitely something needs to be done before the unknown risks of nanotechnology harm us.
