What Are the Potential Risks and Ethical Concerns?
While nanotechnology holds great promise, it also presents potential risks and ethical concerns. These include:
Toxicity: The small size of nanoparticles allows them to interact with biological systems in unforeseen ways, potentially leading to toxicity. Environmental Impact: The long-term environmental impact of nanomaterials is not fully understood. Ethical Issues: Considerations regarding the manipulation of biological systems at the nanoscale raise ethical questions about consent, privacy, and equity.
