Nanotechnology can be used to reduce pollutants in the environment such as radioactive wastes, oil spill, and propylene oxide, the raw material for making plastics.
What are the benefits and cost of it?
Which do you think is more equitable in its impact? (benefit or cost) Why?
choose a product of nanotechnology found at home.
Discuss the purpose and how the technology is used. It is durable? It is reusable? How will you dispose of it if it is not usable anymore? Is it a potential health and/or environmental hazard? why or why not.
