• Abstract:

  Today we are experiencing the effects of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, where more and more technological innovations are consumed, but Planet Earth is overloaded and has shown numerous symptoms of a depletion of reserves. It is still necessary to discuss the production and consumption patterns of a large majority of Earth's inhabitants, a behavior that has caused serious and irreversible consequences for human and environmental health. The expansion of the use of nanotechnologies is one of the novelties that has been occurring in the production sector, bringing a series of concerns about risks to health and the environment. The observation of the communicational improbability between the system of Law and Science about nanotechnological risks and how this affects the responsible and sustainable management of innovation is necessary. It demonstrates the indispensable immersion of the Law System in the observation of nanotechnological risk, contributing to the discussion of the possibilities and challenges that the use of nanotechnologies is already generating for current and future generations, especially with regard to human and environmental health.
