- Conclusion -<br />

Deep researches are being carried out for each major sector in<br />

nanotechnology. The medical sector is at the forefront. Most new ideas are<br />

conv erging to the heal th sector. Therefore, the biggest impact in the future of<br />

nanotechnology w ill be in bio -engineering. How ev er, before commercialisation<br />

of any product that has been made out of nanotechnology, it w il l need to hav e<br />

gone through different regul ations. Therefore, a regul atory body w il l need to<br />

be set up or established in order to ov ersee the gl obal opera tions that are<br />

taking pl ace at nanoscale.<br />

In the future, nanoscience w il l prosper as the dev elopment of new knowledge<br />

and technol ogies goes hand in hand w ith social progress. Some probl ems will<br />

be eradicated in time if this technol ogy is spread on a gl oba l scal e and not just<br />

to those that can afford it. Whereas there al so comes the potential danger that<br />

new probl ems may arise due to these nano adv ancements. Which coul d lead<br />

to a w hol e new range of diseases and v accinations. In such case, onl y w ith<br />

time w il l it be seen if there are answ ers to such probl ems. [26]<br />

NanoMeter<br />

F UT URE T O O LS F O R A N A LY SI S : “NANOM E T ER” ( The S e l f-Ev aluating To o l)<br />

is an internet-based screening tool for assessment of<br />

appl ications inv olv ing nanomaterials, w hich are currentl y under<br />

dev elopment. The purpose of NanoMeter is to highl ight relev ant<br />

aspects in order to enhance publ ic acceptance and support<br />

market success of nano appl ications under dev elopment . By<br />

means of NanoMeter, the assessment of future nano appl ications<br />

is queried in six different aspects:<br />

◘ Env ironment, heal th and safety (EHS).<br />

◘ Resource and energy requirements.<br />

◘ User benefits.<br />

◘ Benefits and risks for society.<br />

◘ Product responsibil ity.<br />

◘ Commitment to stakeholder dial ogues.<br />
