Nanowaste: An Emerging Environmental Challenge

Author(s) Ms. Parveen Kumari, Mr. Pawan Kumar
Country India
Abstract The huge production amounts and use of nanomaterials have led to the generation of an emerging type of waste stream that contains materials with nanoscale dimensions (1–100 nm) and is known as nanowaste. The rapid growth in the production and use of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) and nano-enabled products has led to the generation of substantial quantities of nanowaste, raising significant concerns regarding its environmental fate, transport, and final disposal. Proper management of nanowaste is critically important to prevent potential risks to human health and ecological systems. However, the distinctive physicochemical characteristics of ENMs, coupled with limited knowledge of suitable treatment and disposal methods for various nanowaste forms, make their management particularly challenging. Currently, standardized and well-defined guidelines for the identification, monitoring, and safe handling of nanowaste are largely insufficient. This article reviews the definition, sources, environmental fate, risks, management challenges, and mitigation strategies for nanowaste. Additionally, the review takes into account various kinds of ENMs in waste streams and environmental compartments (such as soil, water, and air). In-depth research is still needed to find data gaps and put plans in place to eliminate and manage this waste in the future.
Keywords nanowaste; management; Human health; engineered nanomaterials; environmental fate.
