What are the Strategies for Reducing Environmental Impact?
To minimize the environmental impact of nanomaterials, several strategies can be implemented:
1. Green Synthesis: Developing eco-friendly methods for nanoparticle synthesis using non-toxic reagents and renewable resources. 2. Safe Design: Engineering nanomaterials with properties that reduce their potential for environmental harm, such as lower toxicity and enhanced degradability. 3. Waste Management: Implementing effective waste management practices to prevent the release of nanomaterials into the environment. 4. Regulation and Policy: Establishing regulations and policies that ensure the safe production, use, and disposal of nanomaterials.
