What are the environmental impacts of using nanotechnology in soil and water?
While nanotechnology offers promising solutions for environmental remediation, it also raises concerns about potential negative impacts. The release of engineered nanoparticles into the environment may pose risks to soil and aquatic ecosystems. Studies are ongoing to understand the toxicity and long-term effects of these particles on microbial communities and plant health. Thus, it is crucial to develop standardized guidelines for the safe use and disposal of nanomaterials to mitigate any adverse effects.
