What Are the Environmental Implications of Nanocrystals?
While nanocrystals offer numerous benefits, their environmental impact is a subject of ongoing research. Concerns include the potential toxicity of nanomaterials and their persistence in the environment. Studies are being conducted to understand the ecotoxicology of nanocrystals and to develop guidelines for their safe use and disposal. Efforts are also being made to design environmentally benign nanocrystals.
