Nanotechnology can be used to improve the properties of
commercial products, to kill bacteria, fight odours and more. But what happens

are released into the environment? Can these same qualities that kill bacteria
in athletic garments, washing machines and refrigerators have an unintended
detrimental impact on health and the environment as well?
