Major Applications Of Green Nanotechnology In SustainableDevelopment And Its Impact On Global Environment: A Review

Abstract

The main applications of green nanotechnology (GN) in sustainable development (SD) as well as their implications for the global environment are examined in this paper. Nanotechnology (NT) presently holds great potential for addressing sustainability challenges, but the deleterious implicationsof nanomaterials on environmental and human health (EHH) must not be overlooked. Despite nano-remediation technology improved performance as well as reduced cost, more research is needed to know and avoid possible negative environmental effects. The study analyze an exploratory research design focused on postulate development. The information and data were gathered from a variety of associated academic works that were accessed using the appropriate keywords. The current paper discusses the fundamental principles of green chemistry (GC) that affect the entire life cycle (LC) of nano-products, from layout to disposal. In the context of the principles of GC for sustainable development, the different applications as well as constraints of GN have been mentioned. The implementation of advanced technology under the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), inspiration to adopt GN industries globally, and prospective viewpoints were also presented in this paper. This article indicates that implementing life-cycle thinking to notify design of the product, integrating life-cycle as well as risk evaluation, implementing sustainable manufacturing practices, and utilizing GC options are all alternative options for the global ecosystem. In this article, NT applications are used to fix environmental concerns, including the potential to reduce overall consumption of energy during the synthesis as well as production processes, the ability to reuse goods after using them, and the development and use of eco-friendly components. Additionally, this article suggests that nations should promote NT experiments through increasing insight into potential applications, enhancing NT training and education at the elementary and secondary school levels through the creation of NT increasing popularity initiatives, and inspiring companies from various enterprises to conduct manufacturing studies that use their financial gains and CSR funds, while also offering some tax incentive practices.
