    I went through this article and found it very interesting and informative.Especially the various aspects the article has gone through like environment,health,energy production, cosmetics almost every part of we human being use. I expect more article of this kind.But there should be more positive points related to use of nanotechnology in relation to human health rather than counting its harmful effects.

    THANKS FOR AN INFORMATIVE ARTICLE ABOUT NANOTACHNOLOGY.
    Newton says” for every action there must be an equal and opposite reaction”. As per this concern what ever we did in earth it has an adverse effect on it. Be positive to move and handle the risks in it……..that’s human intelligence…”WHERE THERE IS A WILL THERE IS A WAY”.

    I am really surprised to know the nano concept.I think in future everything will be manufacture by nano technology.
    But what will be the side effect?

    Eight long, dark years of woefully inadequate leadership that has marked the earliest years of Century XXI have mercifully become history. A different kind of leadership and a new direction are offeredd to the human family.

    As President Barack Obama has noted, the necessity of "seismic change" prompted by human-induced climate destabilization is recognizable and called for by sensible people everywhere. And yet conspicuous silence and elective mutism identify the "thieves of the highest order" among us in the "Axis of Arrogance and Greed" who self-righteously defend the status quo against necessary change.... come what may for the children and life as we know it on Earth.

    In order to preserve their own selfish interests, perverse speechlessness by many too many people with great wealth and power has been knowingly employed to willfully orchestrate the denial of global threats looming ominously before the family of humanity. Thanks to President Barack Obama, perhaps free speech and corrective action can begin to occur now.

    this is an intersting and uefull article regarding side effects of excess and blind use of nanoparticles theory.it draws our attention to concern about all the usage and reserch in the nanofield.this article muct be taken seriously by the govrment in all nations.as it puts light on the what effect can it do to human health and environment.we need to care about this before moving any further steps.

    I am a current Computer Sciences student who has recently read this article. The information contained in this article has helped me to begin my research on my final project that involves the use of nanotechnology. In all honesty, I have found the material in this article to be more informative than any other source I have researched.

    This is completely absurd!

    In what deformed and unreal world would we want to exist as silver people? Although the advanced technology has been carefully thought out, I would rather not to exist as a silver alien like creature, no matter how cool we would look if ET came home.
