Risks and Preventive Measures of Nanotechnology
Abstract
Application of Nanotechnology in Civil Engineering is a rapidly growing field. It has brought improvements in construction materials as well as practices. Moreover, further developments are foreseeable in this field based on the positive outcomes of the current research works. Utilization of nanoparticles in Civil Engineering has been proved advantageous from several aspects of strength, durability and sustainability. Unfortunately, there are not only benefits associated with the application of nanotechnology. According to various studies, nanoparticles are supposed to damage human organs through physical contact and inhalation. Considering the environmental impacts, atmospheric transport, as well as transport in saturated and unsaturated regions in the subsurface are possible. Nowadays, nanoparticles are progressively produced and they could easily be released in air, water, and eventually contaminate the soil which is harmful for the environment and its habitats. The following chapter would address these issues as well as preventive measures in order to improve benefit-risk ratio.
