Summary/Abstract: The anthology of nanodimensional objects (NDO) and genetically-modifited products (GMP) from their discovery, research of properties and application before the detection of threats of their harmful and toxic influence on plants, animal and microorganisms is considered. On the basis of the review of properties is shown, that the threats connected to manufacture and application NDO and GМP can be compared with the destructive influence of the weapon of a mass defeat, such as, for example, radiating, chemical or bacteriological. However the specificity of a toxic influence of NDO and GМP (as against the already known weapon of a mass defeat) can be strictly located on the certain object (or a number of objects). NDO and GМP can get in internal organs of living organism (or in microorganisms) mainly together with food, to destroy or to change their functional features. One of the unique features of such kind of a scientific discovery is that fact, that between the opening of such innovations, their mass production and the comprehension of them as threats of a mass defeat there passes rather large period of time – lag reaches 10-th of years that essentially complicates in time to develop effectual measures of safety.
