Last week the Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies (at the Woodrow Wilson Center) and Consumer's Union hosted a dialogue about nanotechnology consumer products.
The dialogue was a major effort to reach out to the American public and engage conversation about the potential benefits and risks of nanotechnology and nano in consumer products.
I think it's a great initiative. The site provides a wealth of information concerning the numerous (over 500) consumer products that use nanotechnology.
Access the site here for more information.
