Nanotechnology research and development should pay attention to environmental protection

Nanotechnology will have a major impact on the economy, society, and national defense in the 21st century. However, the abuse of nanotechnology will inevitably consume large amounts of limited earth resources, and even cause ecological disasters. To this end, experts suggest that we must be alert to the anti-environmental orientation of nanotechnology and inject environmental protection concepts into the development of nanotechnology. Experts believe that nanotechnology is still only in the R&D stage. Industrial use has just started and it is not too late to control the source of scientific research.
