However, the enthusiasm with which the scientific and technical communities are embracing the technology is being tempered by concerns over possible downsides, including risks to human health. &quot;Are these concerns valid?&quot; is a question being asked by many, but frequently from differing perspectives. Given the increasingly complex interface between nanotechnology and society, relevant answers will be built on solid science and framed within a societal context.  </style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue></record></records></xml>
