How Do Engineered Nanomaterials Contribute to Pollution?
Engineered nanomaterials are designed for specific applications due to their unique properties at the nanoscale. However, their production, use, and disposal can contribute to primary pollution. Nanoparticles such as carbon nanotubes, silver nanoparticles, and titanium dioxide can be released into the environment, leading to potential toxicity to humans and ecosystems.
