“…However, GNPs are toxic at < 10 mg/L of seawater compared to their toxicity at > 10 mg/L in freshwater [40]. This can be attributed to the high ionic strength and the 103-3 presence of divalent cations in the seawater, which accelerates the sedimentation and agglomeration velocities of the GNPs in the marine ecosystem [41].…”

-The unique properties of nanomaterials do enable them to contribute significantly to environmental protection; however at the same time, they also have a significant negative impact on the environment as well as on living organisms. Among the existing nanomaterials, gold nanoparticle (GNP) is quickly gaining grounds due to its wide ranging uses in the field of medicine, especially radiation therapy and targeted drug delivery. Apparently, the increased production, application and disposal of GNPs have led to an increased release of nanogold into the environment and there are very few studies that bring out the implications of such release. This study aims to review various applications of GNPs and their fate in the environment.

“…Worker exposure will depend on the duration and frequency of the task, the number of workers present and the type of task (manufacturing, packaging, stock management, clean-up, etc.). These factors have been discussed in scientifi c reports based on fi eld studies [79] or have been examined during the development of monitoring tools for ensuring worker safety [46] or in previous reviews of the literature [19].…”

As benefi cial applications of nanotechnologies in industry and medicine continue to emerge, so do new problems associated with engineered nanoparticle (ENP) production, which so far is going ahead without prior evaluation of its impact on human health and environment. Worker exposure continues to increase while no global consensus on ENP regulation has been reached. Protection of workers requires an approach to risk management properly adapted to the ENP context. Although ENP properties have been studied in depth over the past 10 years, much uncertainty continues to loom over the defi nition of the key parameters. The aim of this review of the literature was to construct a detailed list of known risks associated with ENPs from an occupational health and safety perspective. A hierarchised network of risks was thus revealed, illustrating the complexity of the system in terms of interdependence of elements of risk.

A stringent requirement for clean environment demands the use of fillers of natural origin to obtain recyclable and biodegradable nanocomposites.…”

This paper reviews the potential of polymer and ceramic matrix composites for aerospace/space vehicle applications. Special, unique and multifunctional properties arising due to the dispersion of nanoparticles in ceramic and metal matrix are briefly discussed followed by a classification of resulting aerospace applications. The paper presents polymer matrix composites comprising majority of aerospace applications in structures, coating, tribology, structural health monitoring, electromagnetic shielding and shape memory applications. The capabilities of the ceramic matrix nanocomposites to providing the electromagnetic shielding for aircrafts and better tribological properties to suit space environments are discussed. Structural health monitoring capability of ceramic matrix nanocomposite is also discussed. The properties of resulting nanocomposite material with its disadvantages like cost and processing difficulties are discussed. The paper concludes after the discussion of the possible future perspectives and challenges in implementation and further development of polymer and ceramic nanocomposite materials.
