(Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT) ) In democratic societies, it is considered an obligation of researchers and politicians to inform the public about modern technologies and their potential risks.

It may also cause worries where they do not seem appropriate, as is reported in the international Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health.
