Small Particles, Big Risks: The Impact of Nanotoxicology on the Environmental and Human Health
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: ABSTRACT: This article discusses nanoparticles and their detrimental effects on the environment. Nano-toxicity is a current scientific and societal concern that has received attention from the scientific community. This article summarizes the sources of nanoparticles, their effects on various organisms, and available control techniques. Nanotechnology is a new scientific research field that has transformed manufacturing. This revolution focused on the large-scale development of nanomaterials. Nanoparticle behaviour is dominated by small structures, quantum mechanics, high surface volume ratios, and other unique qualities, posing a hazard to the environment and human health as the usage of nanomaterials increases. Understanding the toxicity of manmade nanomaterials or Nano-based goods is crucial for ensuring human health and community safety. Nano-toxicology examines the toxicity of nanomaterials and their products to determine their impact on human health. Nanoparticles have been studied in the atmosphere, including air, water, and soil. The health implications of nanomaterials on several organ systems have been discussed.
