Abstract: As nanotechnology moves from development to commercialization, interest has grown in understanding economic and environmental trade-offs regarding nanomanufacturing. Nanotechnology holds enormous promise in energy, electronics, healthcare, consumer products, and other applications. In parallel, significant concerns exist regarding possible environmental, health, and safety (EHS) risks of engineered nanomaterials and nanomanufacturing processes, and in turn, there is significant uncertainty about appropriate workplace safeguards, commercialization regulations, and future market conditions. Given these uncertainties, methods for informing nanotechnology manufacturing and commercialization decisions are increasingly important.
