State Disadvantages of nanoparticles and nanotechnology.

Answer 1

Disadvantages of nanoparticles and nanotechnology:

1. Nanotechnology has raised the standard of living but at the same time, it has increased pollution which includes air pollution. The pollution caused by nanotechnology is known as nano pollution. This kind of pollution is very dangerous for living organisms.
2. Nanoparticles can cause lung damage. Inhaled particulate matter may get deposited throughout the human respiratory tract and then in the lungs.
3. The characteristics of nanoparticles that are relevant for health effects are size, chemical composition, and shape.
