Problems faced by Nanotechnology towards achieving its goals

There is a challenge in coming up with instruments to assess exposure to engineered nanomaterials in the air and water and we make conclusions that the issues will be solved in the next three or ten years. The developments of nanotechnology make us have a feeling that there is the necessity to monitor the exposure to humans in the air and within the water. The challenge is significant as in the more complex like the food matrices. Water is the most necessary resource on earth where most of it is salt water and fresh water is used by 3% of the world population while two-thirds is in glaciers, ice caps, and icebergs. Currently, 1.1 billion people have unsafe water and 2.4billion lacks sanitation facilities leading to mortality rates of 3.4million mostly children in 1998. Water needs increases significantly as agriculture uses 7/10 of world’s water supply. Furthermore, to supply population in the year 2030 there will be an increase in 60% requirement of water supply (Litvin, 2012). This is due to a current rate of water consumption, population, and development which will make two-thirds of the world population to be affected by the year 2050. Comment by Grammarly: Deleted:-

A grand challenge to develop the tools properly assess the challenges involved in the use of tools in the right manner to analyze the risks involved to human and environment. There is a major problem in creating a balance for the energy requirements with the surrounding environmental costs to our universe as developing the reverse system to evaluate the effects on the surrounding environment and the health effects of the engineered nanomaterials over their entire lifespan, which shows the life cycle. Energy demands are predicted as increasing by 50% in the year 2025 with the most being fuel from fossils. Currently, over 1.6billion people worldwide have no electricity and 2.4billion uses plant material, vegetation or agricultural waste as energy and a source of heating. The fossil fuel consumption is increasing and could double Comment by Grammarly: Deleted:G Comment by Grammarly: Deleted:-

To come up with models of predicting the potential impact of engineered nanomaterials on the environment, human life and making information technology available to all as by 2005 an estimated world population of 13.9% has access to the internet with the greatest concentration in North America and the low concentration was in Africa(Singh, 2013). The recent tsunami informs how the world has been enhanced by the use of internet and responses to the crisis that results but there is currently lack of widespread access to communication, information, services, and resources. The lack of access creates a huge barrier to education and economic growth all over the world in the use of nano-materials.

The next problem will be coming up and validating systems to evaluate the toxicity of engineered nano-materials within the next 5-15 years. The daily increasing necessity for natural resources and living space for humans whereas toxics continue to concentrate in our water and soil. Biodiversity is being impacted negatively all over the world with nearly 7million hectares of forest are being destroyed worldwide per year. Consequently, half of the world’s forests and a quarter of our coral reefs have are gone. Furthermore, biodiversity reduces every year creating more threats to oceans. In addition, ozone layer damages have reduced but there is still a gap that exists which needs to be bridged (Guo et al.,2012). A lot of people have a notion that greenhouse gases are causing damages to the universe climate in the process of global warming. The process of reversing these effects are expensive and cannot be afforded by the developing nations or third world countries who see economic advancement as a necessity.

If need be Update 9 will touch on Fundamental contribution of nanotechnology to the world
