What about Environmental and Safety Considerations?
The environmental and safety aspects of nanotechnology cannot be overlooked. Optimized pathways must include sustainable synthesis methods that minimize waste and the use of hazardous materials. Lifecycle assessments are crucial to understanding the environmental impact of nanomaterials from production to disposal. Additionally, safety protocols must be optimized to protect workers and consumers from potential risks associated with nanomaterials. This includes proper labeling, handling guidelines, and disposal methods.
