What are the Challenges of Sustainable Nanomanufacturing?
While nanotechnology offers numerous benefits, there are also several challenges to achieving sustainable nanomanufacturing:
Toxicity and Environmental Impact: The long-term effects of nanoparticles on health and the environment are not fully understood, necessitating comprehensive risk assessments. Resource Consumption: The production of nanomaterials often requires significant amounts of energy and raw materials. Economic Feasibility: Sustainable nanomanufacturing processes can be costly, making it challenging for companies to adopt them.
