It also found the lack of trust in government agencies and the perceived dreadfulness of the potential applications of nanotechnologies played a part in the perceived risk of nanotechnology, though more so for laymen then for experts. Results suggest that public concerns about nanotechnology would diminish if efforts were made to enhance laypeople’s trust in governmental agencies.  </style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17362400?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record></records></xml>
