Description: Embedded video lesson on first slide! Then students answer 30 questions. This environmental earth science lesson explores nanotechnology in environmental science, covering its applications and impacts. Nanotechnology involves manipulating matter at the atomic and molecular level. It has positive impacts such as pollution remediation, improved water quality, and economic benefits in agriculture, energy, and manufacturing. However, there are risks including nanoparticle toxicity, ecosystem changes, and unintended consequences. Proper waste management, risk assessment, and regulations are important for responsible use. Nanotechnology offers solutions but requires responsible implementation for environmental sustainability.
