Are there any health and environmental risks associated with nanotechnology in food and agriculture?
While nanotechnology offers numerous benefits, it also raises concerns regarding health and environmental risks. The potential toxicity of nanoparticles and their long-term effects on human health and the environment are areas of ongoing research. Regulatory frameworks and safety assessments are crucial to ensure that the use of nanotechnology in food and agriculture is safe and sustainable. Stakeholders must work together to develop guidelines and standards for the responsible use of nanomaterials.
