While nanotechnology offers promising solutions, it also poses potential risks. The toxicity of nanoparticles themselves can be a concern. When nanoparticles are released into the environment, they can interact with biological systems in unpredictable ways. Studies have shown that some nanoparticles can cause damage to aquatic life and may pose risks to human health if they enter the food chain. Therefore, it is crucial to conduct comprehensive risk assessments and establish regulatory frameworks for the safe use of nanotechnology.
