Abstract

The article discusses how to clean up the possible threats caused by nanotechnology to the environment. The authors mentioned that nanotechnology was slowly incorporated into mainstream products over the years. A lot of manufactured goods today were said to have some kind of nanotechnology in their composition. Still, it was inferred that there may be possible hazardous effect of using the chemicals and related substances of the technology if not treated properly. The authors also reported that the electronics industry launched an initiative called the Green Nanotechnology pioneered by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars that recommend practices that limit the manufacturing of products containing harmful nanomaterials.
