Green-synthesized nanoparticles, although considered a more environmentally friendly alternative to conventional synthesis methods, may still pose long-term risks to ecosystems if released into the environment. Due to their small size and high reactivity, they can easily penetrate biological membranes, accumulate in organisms, and disrupt biochemical processes at the cellular level. Over time, this can lead to disturbances in microbial communities in soil and water, alterations in food chains, and a reduction in biodiversity. Although the raw materials used in their synthesis (e.g., plant extracts) are of natural origin, the nanoparticles themselves can exhibit toxic effects if they accumulate in high concentrations. Further research is needed on their degradability, bioaccumulation, and interactions with living systems to fully assess potential risks and ensure their safe application in biomedicine, agriculture, and industry.

Green-synthesized nanoparticles, while environmentally friendly in their production, can have long-term negative impacts on ecosystems if released. These impacts include the potential for accumulation in soil, water, and air, disruption of natural ecosystems, and toxicity to organisms. Additionally, there are concerns about bioaccumulation in aquatic life and potential health risks to humans.
