From page 135...
... A second and final report at the end of the study will evaluate research progress and update the research priorities and resource estimates based on results of studies and emerging trends in the nanotechnology industry. The committee will not estimate actual risks or benefits associated with environmental, health, and safety aspects of nanomaterials.
