Nanoparticles and Nanotechnology: Disadvantages

Disadvantages: Despite the possibilities and the advancements that the nanotechnology offers to the world, there also exist certain potential risks involved with the disadvantages of it.

Nanotechnology has raised the standard of living but at the same time, it has increased the 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.

Nanoparticles can cause lung damage. Inhaled particulated matter can be deposited throughout the human respiratory tract and then deposit in lungs.

The characteristics of nanoparticles that are relevant for health effects are size, chemical composition and shape.
