Although we believe our NanoVaders could be practically created in the near future, there are several technological advances that need to be overcome first. Our envisioned iron oxide nanoparticles need to have:

• The capability of binding to biological membranes, organic compounds such as cyanotoxins, and inorganic compounds such as phosphates and nitrates to destroy them.

•  They must also sense and detect the presence of BGA and transmit sensor information back to a network. For sensor data to be transmitted, we will need WiFi, the sensors (which will be encoated in the nanoparticles), radio frequency identification (RFID), and a software that is programmed to interpret the data received and make decisions (Shea, 2019).  

• Because we are using iron nanoparticles to detect, target, and destroy phosphates, nitrates, and BGA, rusting may be a problem. To avoid this problem, we would need to protect our nanoparticles by coating them with anti-rusting materials. 

• Studies and research will be needed to understand how our technology will help our environment. We also need to do experiments to see if there will be any negative potential side effects and how other organisms such as the good algae will be impacted by our technology. 

• The Everglades is the main water source for 8 million people. We would have to conduct toxicity assessments on animals such as mice and marine life to determine if our technology is safe for people. 

•  The NanoVader will need new technologies such as solar panels, self-recharging batteries, and software programming technology.
