Sixteen people of various ages and occupations were extracted from a cohort of six thousand randomly selected individuals on the basis of sociodemographic criteria for the Consumer Conference on Nanotechnology. This group took a comprehensive look at this subject at two preparatory weekends, prepared questions on various consumer aspects of this technology and selected experts from science, associations, public agencies and industry to answer them. On November 20, members of the Consumer Conference on Nanotechnology presented its suggestions to representatives of the German government and affiliated agencies. These suggestions included comprehensible labeling, clear definitions, terms and standards, as well as far more research into the potential risks before nanotechnology is used to a greater degree in consumer products.</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Press Release</style></work-type></record></records></xml>
