What Are Some Current Applications of Nanotechnology in Health and Hygiene?
Nanotechnology is already being utilized in various health and hygiene products. Examples include:
Nanoparticle-based sunscreens that provide better UV protection and are less likely to irritate the skin. Nano-engineered air filters that can trap pollutants and pathogens more effectively than traditional filters. Antimicrobial textiles that incorporate nanoparticles to prevent the growth of odor-causing bacteria. Smart wound dressings that release therapeutic agents in response to specific conditions, such as infection or inflammation.
