Introduction
Nanotechnology is a rapidly evolving field that manipulates matter at the nanoscale to create new materials, devices, and systems with unique properties. While it holds enormous potential, it also presents various
challenges and
risks that need to be addressed.
How Do We Address Safety Concerns?
The potential
toxicity of nanomaterials is a pressing issue. Nanoparticles can enter the human body through inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact and may cause adverse health effects. Therefore, thorough
toxicological studies and establishing safety guidelines for manufacturing and handling nanomaterials are crucial.
Conclusion
Despite its promise, nanotechnology faces multiple challenges and risks that must be carefully managed. Addressing technical, safety, environmental, ethical, and regulatory issues through collaborative efforts will be crucial for the sustainable development of this transformative technology.
