ecotoxicity

Why is Ecotoxicity a Concern in Nanotechnology?

Nanomaterials possess unique properties like increased reactivity, which can lead to unforeseen environmental impacts. Their small size may allow them to penetrate biological membranes, accumulate in organisms, and potentially cause toxicological effects. The widespread use of nanomaterials in various industries raises concerns about their release into the environment and subsequent impact on ecosystems.
