Summary

Odorless, colorless and invisible, nanomaterials have invaded everyday objects: candies and chocolates, paint and glue, clothing and medicine, yogurt and prepared food, beauty cream and toothpaste! Even packaging is teaming with them. Should we be alarmed? Applaud them or boycott them? This book underscores the complexity of problem once we take an overall look at it. It warns against simplistic solutions and advocates that consumers be fully informed.
