What are the Challenges Associated with Fluorescent Nanomaterials?
Despite their advantages, there are several challenges associated with the use of fluorescent nanomaterials:
1. Toxicity: Some nanomaterials, particularly those containing heavy metals, can be toxic to living organisms. 2. Complex Synthesis: The synthesis of uniform and stable fluorescent nanoparticles can be complex and costly. 3. Environmental Impact: The long-term environmental impact of these materials is not yet fully understood. 4. Regulatory Issues: The use of fluorescent nanomaterials in medical applications faces strict regulatory scrutiny.
