What are the Challenges and Risks of Nanoscale Phenomena?
Despite the potential benefits, there are several challenges and risks associated with nanoscale phenomena:
Health and Safety: The toxicity and environmental impact of nanoparticles are not fully understood, posing potential risks to humans and ecosystems. Scalability: Manufacturing processes for nanomaterials and devices need to be scalable and cost-effective for commercial applications. Regulation: The development of standardized regulations and guidelines for the safe use and disposal of nanomaterials is essential. Ethical Concerns: The implications of nanotechnology on privacy, security, and ethical issues need to be addressed.
