MEXICO CITY, Mar 12 (Tierramérica).- Nanotechnology, which is currently unregulated in Mexico, could pose serious threats to human health and the environment, cautions a new study. "Far from a policy of precaution vis-à-vis these new technologies, products are entering the market without regulation to guarantee their safety or labels to inform of their use," researcher Guillermo …show more content…
Other sources estimate the number of researchers working on nanotechnology in México at between 300 and 500. It is beyond the aim of this article to provide a complete picture of the status of nanotechnology in México, but it is worth mentioning some of the efforts made in this regard.
