NT offers a plethora of new materials for different industries and industry sectors. Though public perception is generally supportive of NT, some risk analysis of the potential long‐term effects of green routed manufactured nanomaterials in human food is required. In different industry sectors, the exposure risk would relate to different aspects and it is a challenge to the scientist and engineers as well as local governments while managing the NT innovations. This also needs to arrange some public awareness to explain the uses of NT by all industry sectors to explain the benefits and risks to the consumers. The exact number of available nanomaterials naturally available as well as man‐made in the environment including the oceans are not understood and the fate and behavior of manufactured nanomaterials in important systems, such as the oceans, are poorly understood. The design of nanomaterials should be according to the principles of GNT that would complement and support current regulations of the government and to address the predicted risk while fostering the sustainable development of NT as GT.
