Are There Any Concerns with Antimicrobial Nanomaterials?
While antimicrobial nanomaterials offer significant benefits, there are some concerns that need to be addressed:
Toxicity: The same properties that make nanoparticles effective against microbes can also pose risks to human cells and the environment. Resistance: Overuse of antimicrobial nanomaterials could potentially lead to the development of resistant microbial strains. Environmental Impact: The long-term effects of nanoparticles on the environment and ecosystems are not yet fully understood.
