The progress and development of different nations of the world is strongly connected with the type of materials under their use. Among those materials used nanotechnology is one of the most active areas of research and has useful applications which are gradually establish itself from the previous century. Recently, its great application is more pronounced in the agricultural and food sectors, energy sectors, textile sectors, water and wastewater treatment, construction sectors, and health sectors. Now a day’s the smart delivery of nutrients, bioseparation of proteins, rapid sampling of biological and chemical contaminants and nanoencapsulation of nutraceuticals are some of the emerging topics of nanotechnology. In developing countries the nanotechnology used in different sectors are imported from the developed countries; due to lack of production of nanotechnology materials on the basis of the research they done in their institutions. The potentials and level of utilizing those technologies in different sector has no as much contribution and the communities of those countries have lack of information on the importance and ways of application of nanotechnology. This technology have its own consequence on the health of the community and environment impact, if the community who use the technology have not well informed on the advantage and risks of these technology while they used in different sector.
