What Are the Risks of Nanotechnology to Biodiversity?
While nanotechnology has many benefits, there are also potential risks that need to be addressed:
Toxicity: Nanomaterials can be toxic to various organisms, affecting their health and survival. Bioaccumulation: Nanoparticles can accumulate in the food chain, potentially leading to adverse effects on predators and other higher-level organisms. Habitat Disruption: The production and disposal of nanomaterials can lead to habitat loss and degradation, negatively impacting biodiversity.
