Oxygen Enriched Nanobubbles treatment of water bodies helps in sustainable reductions in COD, BOD, TSS and E.coli load in the the water body. The Nanobubbles release Hydroxyl Radicals.
Scientific communities have expressed concerns about the adverse impact of Hydroxyl Radicals on aquatic life.
Though there is no scientific evaluation done till date.
Hence the question is how can the concerns of the scientific community be addressed specifically considering the facts that during last three years of nanobubbles Treatment at various aquaculture pond sites no incident of any adverse impact has been noticed.
It is important to approach any new technology or treatment with caution and consider potential impacts on the environment and aquatic life. While the use of oxygen-enriched nanobubbles may have shown promising results in reducing pollutants in water bodies, the release of hydroxyl radicals can be potentially harmful to aquatic life.
To address the concerns of the scientific community, further research and evaluation should be conducted to assess the potential risks and impacts of using oxygen-enriched nanobubbles in aquaculture. This could include laboratory studies to determine the toxicity of hydroxyl radicals on aquatic organisms and field studies to evaluate the long-term effects of the treatment on the ecosystem.
In addition, it is important to monitor the water quality and the health of aquatic organisms in the vicinity of the treated water bodies to detect any potential adverse impacts. If no incidents of adverse impacts have been noticed during the last three years of nanobubble treatment at various aquaculture pond sites, this could indicate that the treatment is safe for the environment and aquatic life. However, it is still important to continue monitoring and evaluating the treatment to ensure its long-term sustainability and safety.
Dear Ahmad Al Khraisat,
Thank you so much for your very considerate response.
I fully agree with you that the impact of nanobubbles treatment need to be monitored consistently over a period of three to four years to document the potential risk.
However my fundamental question still persists that in the absence any documented report of adverse impact of nanobubbles treatment on aquatic life what triggered these heightened concerns about the potential adverse impact of nanobubbles treatment.
