摘要

By revising risk assessment to account for new scientific discoveries, industry and regulators may be able to collaborate in areas where they might otherwise be at odds over perceived risks and benefits of technology convergence. For example, according to some environmental scientists, new "nanomaterials" are too risky to manufacture until we study them further(1). Other experts disagree and say that potential benefits outweigh the risks.(2) In my book, Our Molecular Future(3), I argue that methods used by both sides to evaluate such risks are becoming obsolete, and that only by overhauling them is it possible to accurately understand risks and benefits. The good news is that tools to revitalize risk assessment are being developed and deployed. Such tools may also let industry adapt rapidly to newly discovered natural environmental threats. This rapid adaptation may let us match nature's complexity. The author has pioneered environmental risk assessment methods(4) used by chemicals companies and government agencies. Based on that experience, and using research done for my book, I identified categories of technological advances and discoveries that may alter the basis for risk assessment.
