Nanoproducts and industrial design: environmental opportunities and risks

Cyntia Molina Gamonal
Antonio Berazaín

Abstract

Nanoscience and Nanotechnology are experiencing rapid development that covers all spheres of human activity, including industrial design. There are nanoproducts with superior performance than conventional products that open new possibilities for design projects with a reduction in environmental impact. Products based on nanomaterials also contribute to the conservation of the environment in vital issues such as air or water pollution. However, along with these benefits offered by nanotechnology, there are risks that threaten both the environment and the health of living beings, including humans. The present work shows this connection of advantages and disadvantages and some of the measures to evade potential dangers.
