As the world of nano manufacturing at the molecular level continues and as our greatest minds and universities propel thought and innovation into future periods and focus all the research and development of new materials and solutions for mankind's most challenging and pressing issues; we must understand what we're doing and safeguard against possible contaminants giving out all the laboratory and into the wild. It behooves the human race to have protocols and procedures for the abatement and cleaning of exterior areas around nano manufacturing buildings to ensure that the materials do not get into the lungs of animals or humans and do not self replicate outside lab. Just because we have the ability to play God and take the human race to the next level of evolution does not mean we should put the cart before the horse and charge off into the future half cocked. It would be foolish for us not to design protocols and abatement cleaning procedures for nano manufacturing buildings and laboratories. Although we are not quite sure what we will be up against we do know that nano tech materials will be so small that they can escape the work area and therefore we may need larger membranes and airflows that are ironically charged to collect any material that escapes the manufacturing area. Please consider this in 2006 as it is a very serious issue, which we will be facing in the near future. |
