Abstract

Nanotechnology is a brand-new area of scientific research that has revolutionized the manufacturing sector. The emphasis of this revolution was on the large-scale development of nano-based materials. Materials confinement in small structures, quantum mechanics, the high surface volumes ratio or other unusual properties, phenomena, and processes dominate nanoparticle behavior use of the nanomaterial containing items on the rise, posing a threat to the environment and human health. For the sake of human health and protection in the community, it's important to understand the toxicity of engineered nanomaterials or nano-based products. Nanotoxicology aims to identify potential toxins' toxicological practices in nanomaterials and these products to assess how these materials endanger human health. In this sense, nanoparticles and their fate in the atmosphere have been examined concerning air, water, and soil. Nanomaterials' health effects, such as their impact on various organ systems, have also been mentioned.
