Os possíveis impactos com o uso da nanotecnologia

Abstract

The uncertainty of the dangers and risks associated with the increase of a new technology, on its own already arouses the interest and concern of the academic and scientific environment; every year hundreds of new chemicals are manipulated, increasing quality of life, earnings, technology, health and well-being; but, the risks must be considered to avoid damage to the environment, thus ensuring sustainability with the quality of life and health of the environment impacted by the new technology. Nanotechnology has arrived, and with it came the prospect of a more developed and viable future for humanity. Industrial revolution and nanoproducts are the factors that, for the most optimistic, will be the basic structures of a near future. With the development of research, arose the consequences for the environment and health. This research project presents some possible risks of nanotechnology in the environment, also relating to the life health of living beings. Based on bibliographical references, this project was written so that this area can be easily understood. Keywords. nanotechnology, nanoparticles, nanotoxicology, environment, health.
