Abstract
Nanotechnology has become a capable device within cutting-edge science. This has generated serious concern, especially regarding its potential to cause harm. Human well-being and the environment are susceptible to the unfavorable impacts of Nanobiotechnology. This is often compounded by the lack of data on the conceivable interpretation of toxicological information produced in research facility models to people. Thus, a balance must be maintained between the possible benefits and risks of nanomaterials. Therefore, multiple alternative testing techniques could provide adequate information on the toxicity of nanoparticles, which could predict risks to humans and the environment. This chapter provides information on toxicity, risk assessments, and policy issues regarding nanoparticles related to humans and the environment, steps to patent fabricated nanoparticles, a list of patented nano drugs, and the way forward.
