Cross contamination in nanotechnology is a significant concern for several reasons:
Safety and Health Risks: Uncontrolled exposure to certain nanomaterials can pose health risks to humans, including respiratory and dermal issues, and even long-term effects like cancer. Environmental Impact: Nanoparticles can adversely affect ecosystems, contaminating water bodies, soil, and air, leading to disruptions in flora and fauna. Product Integrity: Cross contamination can compromise the quality and performance of nanotechnology-based products, leading to inconsistent results and potential product failures.
