Hello and welcome back to Day 2 of ConsumersTalkNano, a discussion about nanotechnology and consumer products. This is Evan Michelson from the Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies.

This focus point of today's discussion will try to look ahead at what management strategies are needed to address the long-term implications of nanotechnology. How can we ensure the protection of the public's and consumer's health and safety over the next 5, 10 and 15 years? How can consumers address nanotechnology's benefits and risks simultaneously? Plus, what are the key unresolved questions that you would like to see addressed in the future?

Please be sure to read the library items listed for today, as they will give you a good background and introduction to the topic.

Best,
Evan
