Nanotechnology is a major innovative scientific and economic growth area. However
nanomaterial residues may have a detrimental effect on human health and the environment …

The emerging literature on the ecotoxicity of nanoparticles and nanomaterials is
summarised, then the fundamental physico-chemistry that governs particle behaviour is …

This paper describes the ecotoxicological effects of nanomaterials (NMs) as well as their
testing methods. Standard ecotoxicity testing methods are applicable to nanomaterials as …

The recent advances in nanotechnology and the corresponding increase in the use of
nanomaterials in products in every sector of society have resulted in uncertainties regarding …

The production and use of synthetic nanoparticles is growing rapidly, and therefore the
presence of these materials in the environment seems inevitable. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) …

Environmental risk assessments of engineered nanoparticles require thorough
characterization of nanoparticles and their aggregates. Furthermore, quantitative analytical …

The article presents a study which discussed the effective risk assessment of nanomaterials.
According to the authors, nanotechnology and the use of nanoscale materials is a relatively …
