Safety and Environmental Implications of Nanomaterials (Nanotoxicology)
Nanotechnology has revolutionized science and industry, but the unique chemical and physical characteristics of these microscopic particles can also make them a potential hazard to biological systems and the environment. Nanotoxicology is the branch that studies the biological effects, toxicity, and environmental behavior of nanomaterials.
Potential Benefits of Nanomaterials
- Environmental Solutions: Nanomaterials (such as carbon dots, nanoparticles) are useful in the diagnosis and treatment of water, air, and soil pollution. They provide innovative solutions for removing pollutants, water purification, and reducing pollution in industrial processes.
- Benefits in Agriculture and Other Sectors: Nano-based fertilizers, pesticides, and packaging materials reduce chemical consumption, lead ....
