This book aims to address how nanotechnology risks are being
addressed by scientists, particularly in the areas of human health
and the environment and how these risks can be measured in
financial terms for insurers and regulators. It provides a
comprehensive overview of nanotechnology risk measurement and risk
transfer methods, including a chapter outlining how Bayesian
methods can be used. It also examines nanotechnology from a legal
perspective, both current and potential future outcomes. The global
market for nanotechnology products was valued at $22.9 billion in
2013 and increased to about $26 billion in 2014. This market is
expected to reach about $64.2 billion by 2019, a compound annual
growth rate (CAGR) of 19.8% from 2014 to 2019. Despite the
increasing value of nanotechnologies and their widespread use,
there is a significant gap between the enthusiasm of scientists and
nanotechnology entrepreneurs working in the nanotechnology space
and the insurance/regulatory sector. Scientists are scarcely aware
that insurers/regulators have concerns about the potential for
human and environmental risk and insurers/regulators are not in a
position to access the potential risk. This book aims to bridge
this gap by defining the current challenges in nanotechnology
across disciplines and providing a number of risk management and
assessment methodologies. Featuring contributions from authors in
areas such as regulation, law, ethics, management, insurance and
manufacturing, this volume provides an interdisciplinary
perspective that is of value to students, academics, researchers,
policy makers, practitioners and society in general.
