Скачать или смотреть Opportunities & Challenges for Nanotechnology in Food - Dr. John Dutcher

This video is a part of the Trottier Institute for Sustainability in Engineering and Design (TISED) and Pollution Probe's National Consultation on Nanomaterials and Their Implications on Human Health and the Environment.

Dr. Dutcher's presentation was part of Plenary 1-1: Nanomaterials in Our Daily Lives: Understanding Their Uses and Benefits. Nanomaterials exhibit novel properties and behavioural phenomena that make them useful for diverse applications in industry, medicine, food and consumer products. This session provides participants with a context-setting overview of the global market for nanomaterials: their past development, where they are used today, potential breakthroughs on the horizon and challenges confronting the sector. A view to how the benefits of nanotechnology can be realized while addressing consumer concerns and potential human health risks will also be introduced.

TISED mobilizes knowledge to educate and influence public policy around sustainability working with McGill University's engineers, architects, and planners.
