 As nanotechnology advances, many studies have been conducted to determine the effects nanoengineered materials can have on the environment.Most textiles can lose up to 20% of their mass during their lifetime, so nanoparticles used in production of nanofabrics are at risk of being released into the air and waterways.Nano-silver is expected to have as much as 49.5% of its global production taken by the nanotextiles industry due to its antibacterial properties.
