Are There Any Risks Associated with Nanotechnology in Pollution Control?
Despite its potential, the use of nanotechnology in pollution control is not without risks. The environmental and health impacts of nanoparticles themselves need to be carefully considered. There is a potential for nanoparticles to be released into the environment during or after their application, posing a risk to ecosystems and human health. Therefore, thorough risk assessments and the development of safe handling guidelines are essential.
