NanoTechnology: Environmental Risk

Rhiana K*

To assess the dangers of nanotechnology, interdisciplinarity is of utmost relevance. Because they mix new reactivities with nanoscale scales, nanomaterials are extremely novel materials [1]. The complexity results from the extremely low concentrations of nanomaterials in the environment, the transformations of the nanomaterials caused by the reactivity of the surface, the transfer in the environmental media, particularly in the presence of liquid water soils, sediments, and surface water, which implies an association with naturally occurring colloids organic or minerals and blockage in some compartments [2]. These characteristics control the risk, which is highly dependent on speciation and exposure.
