Green Nanotechnology

The with new nano-products that are more environmental friendly throughout their lifecycle and to minimize human health risks and potential environmental associated with the manufacture development of clean technologies is defined as Green nanotechnology, "to encourage replacement of existing products and use of nanotechnology products. Green Nanotechnology carries two goals: producing nanomaterials and products without harming the environment or human health and producing nano-products that provide solutions to environmental problems. To make nano-products and nanomaterials without toxic ingredients, at low temperatures using less energy and renewable inputs wherever possible and using lifecycle thinking in all design and engineering stages. Existing principles of green chemistry and green engineering are used. In addition to using nanotechnology to make current manufacturing processes for non-nano materials and products more environmental friendly green nanotechnology also means making nanomaterials and products with less impact to the environment.
