One of the biggest disadvantage that world is facing because of nanotechnology is the lack of

employment in the fields of traditional farming and manufacturing and industrial sector because
of the vast development in the nanotechnology. Nanotech devices and machines have taken
place of human to work faster and accurately which has lessen the importance of men power in
the field of practical work

Lack of our own knowledge about nanotechnology makes it pretty difficult to manufacture. We
know that we can create materials with nanotechnology but we still have to stop and understand
the impact of the creation of these products will have on the nanoscale.

Nanotechnology is very expensive and developing it can cost a lot of money as to generate and
assemble its particles in different forms needs many technologies.

Working with nanotechnology is quite risky also; manufacturers have to invest huge money for
starting nanotech plants and if products produced fail to satisfy the customer then manufacturer
bear a lot of loss. The original product cannot be recovered because it will cost double to the
manufacturers. Maintenance cost of the product is also very high.

Among the different diseases, the viral diseases are the most difficult to control, as one has to
stop the spread of the disease by the vectors. These nano-based diagnostic kits not only
increase the speed of detection but also increase the power of the detection (Prasanna, 2007).
Nanotechnology will also protect the environment indirectly through the use of alternative
(renewable) energy supplies and filters or catalysts to reduce pollution and clean-up existing
pollutants. There are new challenges in this sector including a growing demand for healthy, safe
food, an increasing risk of disease and threats to agricultural and fishery production from
changing weather patterns (Hager, 2011). However, creating a bio economy is a challenging
and complex process involving the convergence of different branches of science.
