Title A name given to the resource Risks and ethics of nanotechnology: an overview Subject The topic of the resource Environmental ethics; Nanoparticles; Nanostructured materials; Sustainability; Toxicity Description An account of the resource Environmental nanotechnology is thought to be important to current environmental engineering and scientific techniques. The biomedical, textile, aerospace, manufacturing, cosmetics, oil, defense, agricultural, and electronics industries can all benefit from the use of nanotechnology to enhance a wide range of material properties, including physical, chemical, and biological properties. However, nanotechnology-based products or nanomaterials (e.g., nanofibers, nanowires, nanocomposites, and nanofilms) may be harmful to human health. Since nanomaterials are usually manufactured using novel manufacturing techniques and have a variety of sizes, shapes, and surface energies, there can also be uncertainties in their manufacture and handling. This chapter provides a detailed account of ethical issues related to nanotechnology, particularly environmental toxicity, risk management, health risk evolution, and environmental significance of nanomaterials. In addition, environmental challenges, toxic effect of nanoparticles on the environment, ethics of nanotechnology, and social, ecological, biological, and other legal issues are highlighted. The potential of nanomaterials in environmental remediation and their use in environmental protection is also emphasized. 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
