Code of conduct for nanotechnology researchers

For the sound developments of emerging technologies like nanotechnology, it is important to establish proper societal and cultural environments. Considering the information gap regarding the safety of nanoparticles, a specific code of conduct for researchers and efficient efforts in communication with the public are required... In this paper, the lack of solid evidences concerning toxicological properties of nanomaterials in human health and environmental safety is pointed out and necessary items for code of conducts for responsible research are considered.
