摘要：Public perceptions of nanotechnology and its potential risk can be an important measure for the sustainable udvances of the tchnology. We conducted a survey for public(N=599) and experts(N=165). They answered the same questions and results were analyzed. 74% of the public have not heard about the potential risk of nano- technology and 77% expected that nanotechnology/materials are not harmful to the human and nature. 74% of experts realized the potential hazards by nanomaterials. The results represented that large perception gab between public and experts has existed in Korea. Interestingly. Korcean public thought that nanotechnology is more pofitable and less risky than that of American. We suggest that 'now is the best time to give appopriate information on the potential risk of nanotechnology to Korean public without preconcepion or exaggeration.'.
