나노 물질 및 제품의 안전 관리: 윤리적 원리 및 행위지침 고찰 = Safety Management of Nanomaterials and Nanoproducts: Thinking of Ethical Principles and Guidelines for It

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Recently as the reports on toxicity of some nanomaterials and the nanoproducts containing these nanomaterials are rapidly increasing, the safety management issues about nanomaterials and nanoproducts are emerging hot. Especially safety in the workplace and that of consumers and the protection of environment, in other words safeties throughout the life-cycle of nanomaterials and products become core issues. Despite the importance of such a safety management, however, it is very difficult to construct the hard regulatory framework for safety, owing to uncertainties and potentialities of nano-risk. In this paper I will look around the ethical principles and guidelines for safety management which are preferentially required before going into the discussion on the construction of hard-regulation such as law and something like that. Under the circumstance that hard-regulations for safety management are not implementable, these principles and guidelines are expected to play a leading part in building the responsible risk-governance framework for nanomaterials and nanoproducts, and finally to become a cornerstone of the hard risk-governance framework.

최근 나노 물질의 독성에 대한 보고와 나노 물질을 함유한 제품들의 급속한 증가 그리고 제조 과정에서의 나노 물질의 폭 넓은 응용으로 인해, 나노 물질 및 제품의 안전 관리 문제가 중요한 쟁점으로 부상하고 있다. 특히 작업장에서의 안전, 제품을 사용하는 소비자의 안전 그리고 환경 보호 등 나노 물질 및 제품의 전주기 과정에 걸친 안전 확보가 문제다. 하지만 나노 물질 및 제품의 위험이 잠재적이고 불확정적이기에, 이것들을 대상으로 하는 엄격한 안전 관련 규제체계를 구축하는 것은 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 쟁점들과 관련하여 나노 물질을 연구 개발하고 나노 제품을 생산하는 각 기관들이 안전에 관한 책임 있는 거버넌스(governance)를 구현하기 위해 현재 최선의 것으로 취할 수 있는(엄밀히 말해 취해야 하는) 윤리적인 행위 조치들과 이에 바탕이 되는 윤리적인 원리들을 살펴보고자 한다. 그리고 이것이 법적.제도적인 차원의 견고한 안전관리 체계를 구축하는데 중요한 한 축을 형성함을 강조하고자 한다.
