What Are the Environmental Impacts of Biogenic Nanoparticles?
Biogenic nanoparticles are usually considered more environmentally benign compared to their chemically synthesized counterparts. The use of microorganisms and plant extracts in nanoparticle synthesis avoids the use of toxic chemicals and reduces the risk of environmental contamination. Additionally, biogenic nanoparticles are often more biocompatible and biodegradable, minimizing their ecological footprint.
