Abstract

This article looks at issues of sustainability that are involved in using green nanotechnology, or the idea of producing nanomaterials and nano-enabled products that do not harm human health and the environment, and also may provide answers to current environmental challenges. The author argues that one key aspect of ensuring the development of green nanotechnology is ensuring sustainability at all stages of the life cycle.
