Abstract

Nanotechnology deals with particles/materials having at least one dimension of size in the range of 1–100 nm. Such particles/materials are generally termed as nanoparticles (NPs), nanochemicals or nanomaterials (NMs). Hence, nanotechnology involves the synthesis of NPs and NMs and their manipulation to generate materials or devices that are used for various applications (Kumar and Yadav 2009; Mohanpuria et al. 2008). Nanotechnology is one of the fastest growing fields, and has a wide range of industrial, medical, agricultural, and military applications (Jaiswal and Simon 2004; Nel et al. 2006; Kumar and Yadav 2009). Because of the breadth of such applications, the production of NPs is increasing daily, and investments in nanotechnology are increasing rapidly worldwide. The annual global production of NPs is expected to reach 10⁴–10⁵ tons (t) per year, after 2010 (Science Policy Section 2004). It has been estimated that nanotechnology-based products will constitute a $1 trillion business by the year 2015. About two million workers would be required to achieve this expected economic goal.
