To mitigate the potential risks associated with nanomaterials in catalysis, several strategies can be employed:
Surface Modification: Modifying the surface of nanoparticles with biocompatible coatings can reduce their toxicity. Safe-by-Design: Designing nanomaterials with reduced toxicity while maintaining their catalytic efficacy is a proactive approach. Regulation and Guidelines: Adhering to regulatory guidelines and conducting thorough safety assessments can help in mitigating risks. Alternative Materials: Exploring alternative materials that offer similar catalytic benefits but with lower toxicity.
