Abstract

This chapter presents an overview of positive and negative nanotechnology impacts discussed on a broader plane. Nanotechnology's central tenet is the utilization of sub-micrometer-sized particles for use in a wide variety of disciplines, including medicine, cosmetics, agriculture, and the food industry. Nanotechnology's advantages include better agricultural production, quality in pharmaceuticals, targeted drug delivery, and sensor applications. In order to move forward with its growth, it is crucial to correctly recognize the potential benefits and unintentional threats of nanomaterials to our surroundings. Nanotechnology is more complex, more focused, and a balanced interpretation of risks and benefits is very important to analyze.
