Nanotechnologien nachhaltig gestalten

(Nanowerk News) Die Nanotechnologien wecken zahlreiche Hoffnungen. Sie bieten die Chance auf neue Produkte und Absatzmärkte, auf medizinischen Fortschritt, auf die Schonung von Ressourcen und Umwelt. Gleichzeitig können sie aber auch Risiken für Mensch und Umwelt bergen. Die Kenntnisse hierüber sind allerdings noch gering. Ungeachtet dessen befinden sich schon heute zahlreiche Produkte auf dem Markt, die Nanokomponenten enthalten oder mit nanotechnologischen Verfahren hergestellt wurden. "Es ist daher dringend notwendig, Nanotechnologien unvoreingenommen zu bewerten und Wege für ihre verantwortungsvolle Nutzung aufzuzeigen", fordert Martin Möller, Experte für die Nachhaltigkeitsbewertung neuer Technologien am Öko-Institut. Einen konkreten Wegweiser für Forschung und Entwicklung hat das Öko-Institut jetzt mit der neuen Broschüre "Nano Mass
