Despite its potential, nanotechnology faces several challenges and risks:
Toxicity: The long-term effects of nanoparticles on human health and the environment are not fully understood. Potential toxicity is a major concern. Regulatory Hurdles: The regulatory framework for approving nanotechnology-based treatments is still evolving, which can delay their clinical adoption. Manufacturing Complexity: Producing nanoparticles with consistent quality and functionality on a large scale is challenging. Cost: The high cost of developing and manufacturing nanotechnology-based treatments can limit their accessibility.
