What Are the Risks and Challenges Associated with Nanotechnology in Groundwater Treatment?
Despite its potential, there are several risks and challenges:
1. Environmental Impact: The long-term environmental impact of releasing nanoparticles into the environment is not fully understood. 2. Toxicity: Some nanoparticles may be toxic to humans and aquatic life. 3. Regulation: There is a lack of standardized regulations and guidelines for the use of nanotechnology in groundwater treatment. 4. Cost: The production and application of nanomaterials can be expensive.
