The author finally discusses the results of a conference held in 1999 by the Foresight Institute on how to deal with the potential negative effects of nanotechnology research and development, and concludes with the full text of the Foresight guidelines that were developed to help researchers and developers in the nanotech field ensure the responsible and safe development of this new technology.</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article published on web.</style></work-type></record></records></xml>
