Nanotechnology: new science promising new medicine to cure ancient diseases, strong packaging to protect goods, and safer cheaper consumer products for everybody! Small things add up: nanotechnology-using products represent trillions of dollars. Products applying nanotechnology have been marketed worldwide for over a decade; whether people know it or not. Global impacts of nanotechnology on health, wealth, and daily life can transform anything – from vaccines and telephones to driverless cars with strong tires and bioelectronic security systems not yet imagined. Food packaging transport and new foods — even kosher food is involved in nanotechnology! Thus the self-regulated multibillion dollar Kosher food industry is at a crossroads: either new foods will evolve regardless of kosher standards or nanotechnologies applied on an even greater mass scale can enable people to have kosher food everywhere around the world! How can the benefits of nanotechnology be realized while reducing risk to public health? Global Health Impacts of Nanotechnology Law is an easy read and a good read that opens the doors of intellectual curiosity to reveal an amazing STEM adventure!
