The environmental impact of nanotechnology is the possible effects that the use of nanotechnological materials and devices will have on the environment. [20] As nanotechnology is an emerging field, there is debate regarding to what extent industrial and commercial use of nanomaterials will affect organisms and ecosystems.
These particles originate from the degradation of larger plastics and are now found in various environmental matrices, including water, soil, and air. Given their minute size, nanoplastics can penetrate biological barriers and accumulate in human tissues, potentially leading to adverse health effects. [3] [4]
Nanotechnology offers the potential of novel nanomaterials for the treatment of surface water, groundwater, wastewater, and other environmental materials contaminated by toxic metal ions, organic and inorganic solutes, and microorganisms. Due to their unique activity toward recalcitrant contaminants, many nanomaterials are under active research ...
In Japan, MCS is called chemical hypersensitivity or chemical intolerance (化学物質過敏症; kagaku bushitsu kabinsho), and the 1999 Japanese definition requires one or more of four major symptoms – headaches; malaise and fatigue; muscle pain; joint pain – combined with laboratory findings and/or some minor symptoms, such as mental ...
The paper claimed that "there are no adequate health effects studies on the projected evolution of wireless systems such as 5G", and that "the effects of 1G to 4G systems have been ignored". [13] The paper questioned whether health guidelines set out by the World Health Organization were independent of the telecommunications industry. [13]
The Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology is a peer-reviewed platinum open-access scientific journal covering all aspects of nanoscience and nanotechnology.It is published by the Beilstein Institute for the Advancement of Chemical Sciences and the editor-in-chief is Thomas Schimmel (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology).
The Journal of Environmental Quality is a bimonthly peer-reviewed scientific journal publishing original research in the area of anthropogenic impacts on the environment, including terrestrial, atmospheric and aquatic systems. According to Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2020 impact factor of 2.751. [1]
The journal presents broad interdisciplinary information on the practice and status of research in environmental engineering science, systems engineering, and sanitation. [2] Papers focus on engineering methods; impacts of wastewater collection and treatment; watershed contamination; environmental biology ; nonpoint-source pollution on ...
