While nanotechnology offers numerous benefits, potential risks include:
Toxicity: Some nanoparticles may exhibit toxic effects at the cellular or organ level, potentially causing adverse health outcomes. Environmental Impact: Nanoparticles released into the environment can affect ecosystems by altering microbial communities or bioaccumulating in wildlife. Bioaccumulation: Certain nanomaterials can accumulate in living organisms, leading to long-term exposure and potential health risks.
